Rev. WILLIAM CHESTER McCALL III
"History of Race in Unitarian Universalism: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"

Unitarian Universalism has struggled since its inception with issues of
race. White culture and white power structures have continuously maintained
control and dominance within the faith community. Yet a community of
resistance has always been around organizing and mobilizing for a different
kind of faith community, an authentically anti-racist multicultural faith.
We will discuss the roles of organizations of color within UUism as well as
tell some of the stories of white anti-racists along with the stories of
where we have fallen short as a faith.

Chester McCall has long been a Unitarian Universalist minister he has served
churches in California and Pennsylvania. Chester has been an active part of
the Jubilee anti-racist ministry out of the UUA and worked with youth, young
adults, and adults all around the United States in the forward movement of
anti-racist organizing.
