SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Joe Chuman: "'The Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long\, but It Bends Toward Justice.' Does It Really?" (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nThis quote\, much beloved by Barack Obama\, was proclaimed by Martin Luther King. But it did not originate with King. It came from a speech given by the Unitarian minister\, Theodore Parker\, who was a firebrand of abolition in the years leading up to the Civil War. \nIt is an inspiring line to be sure. But how can humanists understand it? Is it a useful notion for us\, or does it bespeak a determinism in the course of events which humanists usually eschew? We are at a very dark moment in our nation’s history. Is this insight something we can hold on to? \nIn my address of June 19th\, I will investigate the history of the adage and whether it is worthy of our belief or promotes unwarranted optimism. \nAbout Leader Joe Chuman \nDr. Joe Chuman started on his road to Ethical Leadership as a leader-in-Training here at the New York Society in 1969 and continued his training at the Bergen Society\, after which he became Leader of the Essex County Society before returning to the Bergen Society\, where he served as leader for 46 years\, retiring in January 2021. Joe has been a leader at the New York Society Since 2008. \nDuring his long career\, Joe has worked as an academic\, a social justice activist\, a speaker\, and a writer. He has been teaching human rights in the Graduate School at Columbia University for more than 20 years\, teaches human rights at Hunter College\, and has taught at the U. N. University for Peace in Costa Rica and at other colleges. \nAs an activist\, Joe has advocated for civil liberties\, human rights\, and other progressive causes and has frequently testified before the New Jersey legislature on such issues as religious freedom\, gun violence prevention\, death penalty opposition\, and immigrant rights. He founded the Northern New Jersey Coalition for Asylum Seekers 20 years ago and still serves as its president. Joe has written numerous book chapters\, encyclopedia entrees\, scores of Op-eds\, and is the author of “Speaking of Ethics\,” a compilation of essays on Ethical Culture. \nCurrently\, he writes articles on political and socio-political issues on Substack and other social media outlets. \nEthical NYC Food Drive: Please bring a can of protein–tuna\, chicken\, beans\, etc.–a jar of nut butter\, or box of pasta to Platform to support our Food Insecurity Initiative. Spices and cooking oils are requested as well\, as they are not covered by SNAP and the price of cooking oil has skyrocketed.  \nNotice: Only fully-vaccinated individuals are invited to attend in-person at this time. \nWatch Online: Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nPresider: Kathleen O’Connell \nMonthly Collection: Destination Tomorrow \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate\, stimulate personal growth\, inspire reflection and action\, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings begin with music\, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader\, member\, or guest.  Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events\, pressing social issues\, and Humanist philosophy. Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo watch previous Sunday Platforms\, visit our Videos page and YouTube channel.

Visit them online at sweethoneyintherock.org. \nAbout Nona Hendryx \nIn the spirit of two fisted political singer songwriters such as\, Nina Simone\, and Joni Mitchell\, Nona Hendryx tackles social issues\, love and politics with a smoky vocal tessitura somewhere between funk and the end of the stratosphere. Hendryx’s legendary career spans six decades of sound and style evolution. Fans know her as a founding member of the girl group\, Patti LaBelle & the Bluebelles known as “the Sweethearts of the Apollo Theatre” and inducted into the R&B Hall of Fame in 1999. In the 70s\, the group morphed into the Rock & Funk Glam Diva’s ‘Labelle’ with the #1 record\, Lady Marmalade. Nona Hendryx emerged as the chief songwriter of the group’s socially conscious and illuminating message songs. If Labelle fans grieved the end of Labelle\, Nona Hendryx fans welcomed a new one as the revolutionary art-rock\, new-wave goddess embarked upon her own impressive Solo career\, which spanned eight studio albums and engaged her with an impressive lineup of collaborators\, resulting in top ten hits and a Grammy nomination. Visit her online at nonahendryx.com. \nAbout Harlem Mothers S.A.V.E. \nHarlem Mothers S.A.V.E. has been a grassroots movement advocating for victims of gun violence and their families since 2006\, organizing marches\, town hall meetings\, forums\, and fighting for sensible and responsible gun laws. They partner with local\, city\, and state officials and agencies\, as well as other community leaders and organizations\, to provide victim services to families and individuals dealing with trauma from gun violence. Visit them online at harlemmotherssave.org. \nAbout The New York Society for Ethical Culture \nFounded in 1876\, The New York Society for Ethical Culture is a non-theistic\, Humanist community dedicated to ethical relationships\, social justice\, and environmental stewardship. A cornerstone of the Progressive movement and a longstanding home for activism in New York City\, the Society’s members put ethics in action to organize\, educate\, and build coalitions to end racism\, poverty\, and war; abolish the death penalty; welcome refugees and immigrants; fight climate change and pollution\, and more.
