#84. Reflections of a Human Rights Leader

Richard ("Dick") Scobie was the Executive Director of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee from 1972 to 1998. Under his direction, the UUSC defended human rights and promoted humane solutions to social problems worldwide, from war zones in Central America, Africa and Asia, to America’s broken systems of criminal justice and child welfare. His memoir, To Advance Justice, published in 2005, provides a detailed account of his 27 years of leadership of UUSC.
