Fit for Freedom, Not For Friendship
The Seed Cracked Open
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
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.
