There’s always something happening at Good Shepherd.

Join the Good Shepherd Towards Racial Justice small group as we travel by carpool to the Historical Society of PA in Philadelphia on Tuesday, April 29th to see an exhibit from the Pennsylvania Historical Society on abolition: Free, As One: Black Worldmaking in the Pennsylvania Abolition Society Papers highlights themes of Black self-determination and leadership from the 1770s onward in the abolition movement of the Mid-Atlantic region. Drawing from the Pennsylvania Abolition Society (PAS) collection and commemorating the 250th anniversary of its founding, this exhibit refocuses our attention on abolition as a global, Black-led political movement championed by the PAS. Most importantly, the exhibit highlights how Black and Brown people, even in the midst of extreme oppression, imagined new futures and created new worlds for themselves. People who seemingly had nothing, envisioned and took action to regain freedom for future generations. This focus on the future—on unity and generational hope—is central to the narrative. We will leave Good Shepherd at 8:30AM, tour the exhibit at the , and share lunch (Dutch Treat) at a restaurant afterwards before returning home. Estimated return time, 4PM. Sign up on the Racial Justice Bulletin Board in the main hallway.
