Today in the US we're honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. So, it seems appropriate to revisit this podcast episode about the work of Quakers in the Civil Rights Movement.

In this episode, we share first-hand stories of Friends whose spiritual courage led them into the heart of the movement, even when they were beaten and threatened with death. Quakers were among the most influential advocates of nonviolent direct action, choosing boycotts and sit-ins over fists and guns. Today, we explore their work and how it affected one of the most important eras in American history.

Spanning more than 150 years, Black Fire brings together the words of Friends who spoke truth to power in some of America’s most tumultuous times. Featuring the writing and speeches of Bayard Rustin, Bill Sutherland, Sojourner Truth and many more, this book is a unique exploration into the spirituality and activism of Black Friends, told in their own words.

In partnership with Friends General Conference, we’re bringing you an exclusive peek into the new audiobook of Black Fire: African American Quakers on Spirituality and Human Rights.

In this behind-the-scenes episode, we’ll speak with some of the book’s editors and share never-before-heard excerpts from the audio version.
