Notice that this faith based community 'celebrates diversity' and welcomes all!

By 1775, the Quakers founded the first American anti-slavery group. Through the 1700s, Quakers led a strong-held prohibition against slavery. The Quakers’ fight inspired growing numbers of abolitionists, and by the 1830’s abolitionism was in full force and became a major political issue in the United States.

The Quakers are perhaps the only religion to which "we" (blacks) owe a debt of gratitude. On behalf of all people that love justice and freedom, "Thank you."

Believe it or not, I learned this from a speech given to blacks by Col. Robert Green Ingersoll a few years after the Emancipation Proclamation, entitled An Address to the Colored People; 1867.
