  • Three children stand against a wall, as if lining up for school lunch. A Black student holds an apple she's eating, turning her head to smile at the other two students.
    My family taught me that we uplift and save ourselves.

  • A gold Emmy statue rests on a table: a winged figure holding, over their head, a stylized globe. The statue is on a table, seen from above and close up.
    I grew up witnessing Black people who were free to exercise our own self-determination.

  • A life-size statue of Carter G. Woodson, sitting on a concrete memorial. He is seated with one hand on a knee, and the other arm along the back of the support. Next to him, there's a bouquet of flowers and a color sign with Woodson's face and the caption "Father of Black History Month." The words "Father of Black History" are engraved into the memorial's base.
    Black History Month has a beautiful, amazing history; it comes from a deep culture of resistance.

  • A young woman with a huge smile turns to smile at the camera as she boards a plane. She's carrying a backpack and walking up an external flight of stairs. In front of her is someone else boarding the plane.
    Tenderness helped me on my journey to adulthood, and taught me the importance of hospitality.

  • Two people, one with dark skin and one with light skin, are seen from behind outdoors. They're both wearing backpacks and looking up at the trees in front of them. One person is pointing up toward a tree.

  • A black-and-white photo at a rally, with a blurred crowd of people raising their fists in the air. The focus of the photo is a person with their back to the camera who also has their fist raised in the air, and is standing higher than the crowd.
    Our resistance is not predicated on how likely it will be to alter the conscience of the oppressor.

  • Outdoors, with sky and treetops in the background, four hands each hold up a gold number: 2 - 0 - 2 - 6

  • In a living room, a Black woman wearing an African-print top blows out a match. On the Kwanzaa table in front of her, draped with Kente cloth in shades of gold, green, and red, are ears of corn and a kinara: a Kwanzaa candle holder with three red taper candles, three green, and one black candle in the center, which is lit. There are gifts and gift bags propped around the table, and on the wall above the Kwanzaa table is a purple banner that says "Kwanzaa" under a stylized kinara with seven lit candles.
    I’ve never lived a year of my life without Kwanzaa. The Nguzo Saba, Kwanzaa’s 7 principles, still help me.

  • From behind, seen from shoulders to knee, three Sámi women wearing traditional clothing: cornflower blue dresses with a red ruffle at the bottom, and fringed shawls in shades of light blue and bright yellow-gold, with white and red accents.
    As part of my observance of Yule and Christmas, I honour my female ancestors.

  • A trail through a redwood forest. The trees take up most of the image. There is a path through the trees, wet with recent rain, with ferns on either side. In the center of the photo, dwarfed by the trees, there is a man holding up a small camera or phone to take a picture.

  • Prehistoric stenciled outlines of many overlapping hands on a cave wall at Cueva de las Manos, Argentina. Some hands appear in ochre on pale rock, and others are white against darker rock.
    We sang, we loved, we gazed up at the mysterious stars. We tried to understand what had created us, why we were here, why we suffered and how to keep what was precious.

    In Spring 2025, the UUA Wave Cohort called “Caring for Parents as Whole Beings” gathered UUs who are parents currently raising children to learn more about the challenges their families face and what kinds of support they want from their congregations. This is a report from the conveners.

  • A table covered with a red tablecloth and a purple tablecloth. The front is labeled with the word PRIDE, with each letter handwritten on a separate piece of letter paper. On the center of the table is a clear box filled with large serving spoons. The rest of the table is completely covered by many loose spoons. Among the spoons are many handwritten signs labeled with types of disabilities: “cognitive,” “developmental,” “sensory,” “hidden,” and so on.
    This two-part ritual, inspired by the disability justice concept of spoon theory, includes a litany of things that can “take spoons away” from people. Part of the WorshipWeb collection “Worth and Dignity of All Bodies.”
