Lucy’s Children

Lucy’s Children – Racial Justice Group

Lucy’s Children is a community effort to examine the fiction of Race in order to address the fact of Racism. Our plan is to provide information, opportunities, and events that can help us come together as a society to end racism. 

All members of BSEC and their personal guests are welcome at the learning sessions of Lucy’s Children. If you are interested in joining this group, please contact us.  Lucy was discovered in 1974 by paleontologists in Ethiopia. At that time she was the earliest known ancestor of the human species. This is why we call our group Lucy’s children.
