During our Centennial celebration, we tapped into much of UU Detroit’s history. However, we have yet to take a look at the Unitarian and Universalist women who bolstered our church’s social justice programs as members of the First Congregational Unitarian Church of Detroit and The Church of Our Father, Universalist.

Danny Rebb will share his research on the heroines who worked in prison reform, suffrage, child welfare, health care, education, peace, and temperance. These women not only served our church but held significant positions in the Detroit community, such as president of the Girls’ Protective League; Chairperson of the Reform Board, Detroit House of Corrections; Chairperson of the Child Welfare Committee of the Detroit League of Women’s Clubs; Director of the Protestant Children’s Home, and others.
