Another is Dr. James Reeb, who was also killed in the early days of the civil rights movement. We're at our best when fighting for social justice. A more recent example is marriage equality, in which we were at the forefront. UU ministers were doing commitment ceremonies long before Massachusetts got the ball rolling.
