Growing up black and Quaker.

Poetry

The search for a welcoming meeting

Seeking a multicultural and multiracial faith community.

Joining a meeting does not purify us of racism.

Opening up those parts of ourselves we keep in the shadows.

Young Friends minute

Everyday racism at the farmers' market.

A letter from that person of color you approach for conversation at random times.

A planned memorial for freed slaves in the cemetery exposes lingering divides.

A standoff at the meetinghouse.

A ministry to abolish racism within Quakerism
