The Hingham Unity Council was formed to create a space for conversation, to unify our community, and to support Hingham residents and guests who have been marginalized and treated unjustly throughout history. In an essay that he wrote days before he passed away, John Lewis wrote: “When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war.”

On July 9, 2020, Hingham Unity Council presented a live Zoom conversation with Dolly Chugh, author of "The Person You Mean to Be, How Good People Fight Bias." Below is the video of that event.

Community reading and discussion of Ibram X. Kendi’s Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You. Open to ages 13+.  Book will be provided in honor of Dr. Holly Carter & Dr. Caitlin Slodden, leaders of Sacred Ground at St. John’s Episcopal Church. Full details and registration here.

The Hingham Unity Council is pleased to present a "fireside book chat" with author Dolly Chugh, whose book, The Person You Mean to Be, is the smart, "semi-bold" person’s guide to fighting for what you believe in.

The Hingham Unity Council is pleased to present this documentary in which comedian Chelsea Handler explores how white privilege impacts American culture -- and the ways it’s benefited her own life and career. The viewing will be held at Congregation Shaa'aray Shalam, 1112 Main Street in Hingham and will be followed by moderated conversation.
