Sugarcane Film Event
Please save the date to join us in the sanctuary to view Sugarcane, the poignant documentary describing a family's experience with a Native Boarding School.
Winner, Best Documentary Feature at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
Dr. King 1963
“Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shores, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society. From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles of racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its Indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it.”
Please join UU's and others around Philly in observance of Martin Luther King Day for this documentary of a groundbreaking investigation into an Indian residential school. This urgent and timely film brings the hidden story of cultural genocide to light while celebrating the resilience of Native people as they work to overcome cycles of intergenerational trauma.

East Mt. Airy Walking Tour
Take A Walking Tour of Tourison: An Architectural History of East Mt. Airy on Sunday November 9 from 1:30-3:30pm
Ashton Tourison, Sr. was born in Mt. Airy in 1851 to a former captain in the Civil War. Beginning in the 1870s, he had a grand vision for and confidence in the future of Mt. Airy. In approximately 1904, he purchased 125 acres between Chew and Stenton Avenues, from E. Durham Street to Meehan Avenue, and advertised his plan for Sedgwick Farms as "stone-built homes, planned on an architectural idea that makes each different from the other, yet in perfect harmony with all." Along with creating timeless beauty, he provided "practical houses incorporating core values of space, air, light, comfort and good taste." With these core values in mind, this walking tour will tell the amazing story of the hundreds of homes built by Ye Sedgwick Farms Company, comprised of Mr. Tourison and his 4 sons. Join us, as we journey back in time to the turn of the 19th century!
This tour is sponsored by the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia
