The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Statesboro held a dedication ceremony Thursday for a newly-displayed banner they hope symbolizes a movement aimed at bringing races and cultures closer together. Community members representing diverse faiths and ethnicities attended and took part in the dedication ceremony for the “Black Lives Matter” banner that now hangs on the side of the building. The Rev. Jane Altman Page, minister for the Fellowship, said the Unitarian Universalist Association passed a resolution supporting the Black Lives Matter movement back when it started in 2015, but the congregation felt compelled to visibly display the banner at this time.
