Phillips Community is named after Wendell Phillips an extraordinary champion of racial and economic justice. Just how cool is that? Â The community”'s name announces to the world that the people of Phillips stand for equality for each of us and justice for all of us!
Phillips was born 200 years ago in Boston, Massachusetts. He became famous across the USA for hating slavery, condemning racial prejudice, demanding women”'s rights and defending Indigenous peoples from land-hungry white people and the US Army.
Everything he demanded back then is just as important to the people of Phillips today.
What if Wendell Phillips came back to life today? What would he say about the continuing abuse of immigrants, the continuing spread of poverty, police brutality, and violence against women, gang violence and white racism? What advice would he give the people of Phillips?
