Let’s honor this President’s Day by learning about a fellow Unitarian, Millard Fillmore. He was our nation’s 13th president and the first University of Buffalo chancellor.

Queen Victoria called him one of the … Continue reading Millard Fillmore, a Unitarian US President; the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
