Pendle Hill Truth & Justice lecture: “The BlackQuaker Project Challenges Quakerism in the 21st Century” Harold D. Weaver, Jr. with guest Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge

On Monday, February 5, from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m., Dr. Harold D. Weaver is joined by South  African  Friend  Nozizwe  Madlala- Routledge, director of Geneva’s Quaker United Nations Office. Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge will discuss her deep collaboration with our ministry in applying Retrospective Justice as a 21st-century Quaker model for healing historical injustices. Her efforts to seek justice continue, now on a global scale as the first person of African descent to lead a transnational Quaker organization. Pendle Hill plans to offer a special look at how Friends of Color around the world,  including the BlackQuaker Project, challenge the Religious Society of Friends in the 21st century with new insights, new narratives, and new models, showcase this and several other initiatives, drawing on their ministry’s major activities, and to: (1) utilize videotaped testimonies from our Quakers of Color International Archive; (2) advocate for moving the Quaker testimony of Justice to the forefront of modern Quakerism;

(3) spotlight the crucial voice of Palestinian Quaker leader Jean Zaru; and (4) demonstrate how over the years our efforts to restore historically distorted and neglected Black Quakers and Black-Quaker descendants, such as Paul Robeson, give them their well-deserved places in USA and world history. Attend via Zoom on Monday, February 5, from 7:30 PM- 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.
