Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship Quakers, African Americans, and the Myth of Racial Justice by Donna McDaniel And Vanessa Julye
It is a common misconception that most Quakers assisted fugitive slaves and involved themselves in civil rights activism because of the Quaker belief in equality. While some Friends did work to end enslavement and post-enslavement injustices, Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship reveals that racism has been an insidious, complex, and pervasive problem among Friends, as it has been generally among Americans of European descent. This book documents the spiritual and practical impacts of race discrimination in the Religious Society of Friends with the expectation that understand- ing the truth of our past is vital to achieving a diverse, inclusive community in the future.

Spirit Rising Young Quaker Voices edited by Angelina Conti, Cara Curtis, Wess Daniels, John Lomuria, Emma Condori, Harriet Hart, et al.
Spirit Rising celebrates, critiques, questions, and reflects on the Quaker faith as experienced by young Friends. This collection of writings and visual art by teenage and young adult Quakers from around the world and from across the theological and cultural spectrum of the Religious Society of Friends offers readers a window on the spiritual riches and witness of this generation of Friends. The contributors in this volume challenge and inspire, as they witness to, celebrate, and question their Quaker experience. Their voices are a symphony, cacophonous but also deeply resonant.
