Paula Montgomery, M.D., long-time member of UUCP, will present the next installment in the Series of GREAT PEACEMAKERS, True Stories from Around the World. Workers for Peace: Thoreau and Gandhi.

As UUs we are committed to the goal of a world community with peace, liberty and justice for all. Thoreau was a philosopher and poet in 18th Century New England. His essay on civil disobedience has influenced the development of peaceful protests in addressing the injustices and errors of those in power.  His philosophy was used to good effect by Mahatma Gandhi in his work in freeing colonial rule in India and later by civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
