Violence against Black People 1981 Business Resolution

THAT the Board of Trustees of the Unitarian Universalist Association expresses its deep sorrow and indignation at the recent incidents of violence directed in particular against black children in Atlanta, GA, and black males in Buffalo, NY. The board extends its heartfelt sympathy to the families of these victims; expresses its support for those who seek to reduce the climate of fear which violence has created, especially within our minority communities, and encourages the UUA Section on Social Responsibility to lend its resources, where possible, to the alleviation of violence and racial tension.
