“Black Fire is a landmark book that reframes our understanding of Quakerism, for it highlights the degree to which American Quakers were interracial almost from the outset, with black leaders shaping Friends’ spiritual and reform visions. Brilliantly conceived and beautifully edited, it should be required reading for anyone interested in American religion and reform.”
--John Stauffer, Chair of History of American Civilization at Harvard and the author of the award-winning Black Hearts of Men and GIANTS: The Parallel Lives of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.
