To repair is to fix what was broken. The history of Quakers as slaveowners contains much damage and breakage. The 339 Manumissions and Beyond Project is a Quaker-led reparative project. It seeks to restore the family histories of those descended from people enslaved by Quakers and answer the question: What happened to these newly freed Americans and how did they survive?
“Know from whence you came. If you know whence you came, there are absolutely no limitations to where you can go.” James Baldwin
