Event Details
From their arrival in the mid-1600s, Quakers played an essential part in the development of Long Island. As early abolitionists, ardent pacifists, and skilled educators, Quakers were influential in shaping the history of Long Island.
In this lecture, Karly Hoenzsch will explore Quaker involvement in the anti-slavery movement, relations with Native American groups, and contributions to education. By tracing the history of Quakers on Long Island, their legacy can be better understood today.
