Fit For Freedom, Not For Friendship - Paperback

Quakers, African Americans And The Myth Of Racial Justice

BY DONNA MCDANIEL AND VANESSA JULYE
There is a common misconception that most Quakers assisted fugitive slaves and involved themselves in civil rights activism because of their belief in equality. 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 belief that understanding the truth of our past is vital to achieving a diverse, inclusive community in the future.

Quaker Racism

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."

Growing Beyond Racism

BY VANESSA JULYE
In this keynote address for the July 2005 New York Yearly Meeting annual sessions, Vanessa Julye addresses the reality of racism within the Religious Society of Friends. Stories from generations of her family, and the experiences of other Black Friends across time, make vivid the sense of isolation and barriers people of color face in the white, middle-class Friends culture. Vanessa Julye goes beyond critique, however, to present significant questions and additional resources as a ministry to heal and to empower Friends to "move further along the spectrum of racism."
