Pendle Hill Lecture: Lauren Brownlee RE: Uprooting Racism

  • January 08, 2024
  • 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
  • Via Zoom

Members of the Steering Committee of the Quaker Coalition for Uprooting Racism believed they had a responsibility to name the pain from patterns of white supremacy culture and racism that they have experienced, witnessed, and heard throughout the Religious Society of Friends and associated organizations. To that end, they created a guide with examples of harm and interventions toward racial justice. This guide, inspired by the work of Tema Okun and several Quaker institutions, points to the ways that they see white supremacy culture weaving its way into Quaker culture and suggests methods to disrupt it. In this lecture, BFM member Lauren Brownlee and Zenaida Peterson will share ways that the guide has been and can be used in Quaker communities.
