		Jim Reeb, remember, was one of about 40 UU ministers who flew to Selma to join King’s march, and more followed, together with many lay people. Though small as a percentage of the hundreds who gathered in Selma, our representation proportionally, given our small size as a denomination, was huge.
		We remember that James Reeb in making his case to be accepted into the Unitarian Universalist ministry wrote of his hope to “participate in the continuous creation of a vision that will inspire people to noble and courageous living.” It is a goal that is no less suitable for us today.
