SUNDAY WORSHIP

History of the Labor Protest Movement

Kyle Knapp

August 23, 2026

We welcome Kyle Knapp as he shares some thoughts on the evolution of how folk music has intersected with civil rights, workers rights and protest movements. Through the sharing of relevant stories, hymns and folk songs, we examine the blessings of standing together for justice and better living and working conditions for all. Through the years, music has inspired unity and resistance to injustice and greed.

Attend in Person or via YouTube.

Nursery care is available every Sunday for ages 5 and younger. For the summer, our older children and youth are invited to join us for the Sunday service. We have religious education opportunities available on weeknights for older children, youth, and families. Details available here.

Land Acknowledgment
It is appropriate to acknowledge that the First Unitarian Church of Omaha occupies the traditional treaty lands of the Omaha and Otoe-Missouria Tribal Nations whose sovereignty existed long before the state of Nebraska. We would also like to express our respect to the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska, the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, the Santee Sioux Tribe of Nebraska, and over 170 other tribes represented within the Omaha area.
