The Sanders Lecture Series was inspired by the immeasurable contributions of Hardy and Betty Sanders to Unitarian Universalism and to the people of all faiths in North Texas and beyond. Hardy and Betty Sanders are well known in their community for their generosity and good works.

The Sanders Lectures are underwritten by the North Texas Association of Unitarian Universalist Societies (NTAUUS), and its member congregations to recognize the contributions of Hardy and Betty Sanders. The Hardy Sanders Lecture Series present messages from respected and recognized leaders in social justice, economic justice and environmental issues intended to shed light on issues of importance for our local area, state and nation and to motivate you to take action to continue their work.

The first Sanders Lecture, "With Justice for All," was presented by Morris Dees, Founder and Chief Trial Counsel of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
