In 1688, a group of German Quakers decided to use their voice and turn their faith into action by writing a public petition against enslavement. The original signed petition was lost to time and rediscovered in the ‘fireproof vault’ of Arch Street Meeting House.
Join Emma J. Lapsansky-Werner for a special presentation about the 1688 Germantown Quaker Petition Against Slavery on Monday, June 29, 2026, from 5 PM to 7 PM.
The Petition will be on view at Arch Street Meeting House from June 29 to August 9, 2026. The museum is open daily from 10 AM to 4 PM.
