Who Was Joseph Tuckerman?
Through our name, we honor Joseph Tuckerman (c. 1826), who was the first Unitarian community minister to work with impoverished immigrant communities and to help his fellow religious liberals understand their role in the perpetuation of privilege and oppression. As a 19th century minister, he was recognized as a pioneer in social work by a Catholic biographer and also was an early writer to draw upon the language of "caste" when describing institutional structures of poverty and ensuing cultural stigma.
