Abstract

There is no question that quakers strive for racial justice, for their shared history and social beliefs explicitly call for ongoing anti-racist action. Given philadelphia quakers' early influence on U.S. governmental framework and their ongoing reputation for egalitarianism, an investigation and critical analysis of the philadelphia quakers as an anti-racist group is indispensable. This essay focuses on the anti-racist activism of the philadelphia Yearly Meeting (PYM) of the Religious Society of Friends (quakers), especially within the timeframe of 2000-2004. After analyzing philadelphia quakers' history of working for racial justice, we will overview major domestic actions and issues that they have been working on lately. The purpose of this paper is to explore the legends surrounding Quaker involvement in the abolition of slavery and then to compare such standards for righteous behavior with contemporary Quaker work to rid the country of racism, that is, this U.S. system of advantages that has given Whites the power of dominant social group rank and simultaneously has prejudiced Whites against people of color.
