Came across this piece tonight and it has me wondering.
https://www.uuworld.org/articles/why-martin-luther-king-jr.-wasnt-uu
According to the author, both Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King attended Unitaroan churches at times and considered becoming Unitarians, but decided not to, in part because of the near nonexistance of black Unitarian churches.
Also doscovered this little tid bit of earlier history on Unitarianism: https://www.uua.org/re/tapestry/adults/river/workshop1/reconciliation
So, with a POD of 1900, what would it take to grow African American UU churches such that a young MLK (or some other young and charisnatic black man in the 50s) migyt become a UU minister?
And what might happen?
