A Tribute To MLK: An Afternoon of Introductions
Sunday, January 18, 12:30 pm, TSK Room
Lunch will be available
​
The first introduction will be the labor organizing side of Rev. King via the screening of the film At The River I Stand. This moving documentary directed by John Ross, David Appleby, and Allison Graham recounts the two months leading to MLK's assassination in 1968, coinciding with the 65-day strike of sanitation workers in Memphis seeking human dignity and a decent wage.
​
The second introduction will be of our (UUSF) neighbors across the street at the Harry R. Bridges Memorial Building, which includes the offices of the SF Labor Council and the ILWU. The hope and purpose of this intro is to start a collaboration/partnership for future events on or about labor.

As we heal, we learn to:
• Listen to ourselves and our truths
• Accept that we were always doing the best we could, at every moment
• Realize that it was not our fault if we had a painful or traumatic childhood
• Believe that there is nothing wrong with us—that every part of Our body, mind, and spirit are beautiful and miraculous.
• Accept that every feeling we have ever felt was normal.
• Empower ourselves by choosing positive thoughts and beliefs
• Share our true self with one or more people we trust deeply
• Mourn all our losses
• Feel all our feelings, learn from them, and let them go.
• Be patient and gentle with ourselves, as we would with a child we loved
• Realize that we are no longer alone in our pain, anger, and fear.
• Be grateful for everything we have and are.
• Feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually safe
• Accept that our life works better if we choose to believe in a god of our understanding
