Our guest speaker for this year’s lecture, to be hosted on Saturday, January 20 at 7 p.m., is Olivia Hill, the first openly transgender elected official in Tennessee. Council Member-at-Large, Olivia Hill was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. A product of Metro public schools, Olivia’s roots are planted firmly in this city she loves. She has seen firsthand the kindness, strength, and creativity demonstrated by her fellow Nashvillians. She knows the vast potential this city offers.

The annual Robert C. Palmer Lecture on Human Rights was established by the church’s Board of Directors in 1983 to honor the legacy and service of the Rev. Robert Palmer, our first called minister. Rev. Palmer was a social activist on many fronts, including the United Nations, nuclear disarmament, and the Civil Rights Movement.
