With only a few hundred members, the Ethical Culture Movement helped shape reforms across the country—from labor conditions and education to housing and public health. Their influence reached from Tuskegee to Harlem, from textile mills to the halls of government. As Margaret Mead famously observed, a small group of committed individuals can indeed change the world. The early Ethical Culturists embodied that truth. What distinguished them from many reformers of their time was that they worked systemically, understanding that no single domain of life could be isolated from the others. Not just parts of society would be the focus, but all of it.
Join us for our April Spotlight, where Curt Collier will share how - in our 150th anniversary year - Ethical Culture's rich legacy of social reform inspires us to action in our own difficult times.
Come on out! And stay for our potluck lunch starting at 12:30. (Bring a little something to share if you like.)
