Building for Change

Congregants at the construction site of the UU Flint church in the 1960s

Unitarians occupy a new building built at the present site for a cost of $70,000. Congregation members house sit in support of a black family moving into a segregated area in Flint. Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Flint (UUCF) is surveilled by Michigan State Police “Red Squad” due in part to targeted groups that met at the church such as the Weathermen. UUCF is a site for protest meetings in support of civil rights movement, political speeches, ACLU meetings, draft and abortion counseling. UUCF supports Open Occupancy Ordinance.
