Quakers, African Americans And The Myth Of Racial Justice
BY DONNA MCDANIEL AND VANESSA JULYE There is a common misconception that, because of their belief in equality, most Quakers assisted fugitive slaves and involved themselves in civil rights activism. While there were Friends committed to ending enslavement and post-enslavement injustices, Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship reveals that racism has been as insidious, complex, and pervasive among Friends as it has been generally among people of European descent. The book documents the spiritual and practical impacts of discrimination in the Religious Society of Friends in the expectation that understanding the truth of our past is vital to achieving a diverse, inclusive community in the future.

The 48th Walton Lecture
BY DONNA MCDANIEL AND VANESSA JULYE Certainly based on their book, Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship, the SEYM pamphlet Quaker Racism spurs action. First the speakers presented gut wrenching historical information, then how-to information on what an individual and group can do to address the issue today. This is a great introductory discussion book to the topic of present-day, ongoing racism. One participate said, "Vanessa Julye and Donna McDaniel worked with us to explore the ongoing nuances of racism and how it impacts us in insidious ways we would consciously reject if we were aware."
