Fit for Freedom, not for Friendship

I'm excited for this book coming out.

My recent ex (I'm still very sad) asked me a while ago about why there weren't many black quakers, especially seeing that we were so involved in the antislavery movement. I just choked out a really long and rambly, guilt-laden, essentially, "I dont' know"

Turns out quakers can't claim nearly as much credit as we'd like to for being above/beyond this racist world and country we live in.

Still haven't figured out how to get there, but I'm pondering it.
