Why are there so few Black Quakers in mostly-white Quaker meetings? What can white Quakers do to support and encourage Friends of Color? And what can we learn from how Black Friends worship?

This season we’re taking inspiration from Civil Rights organizer Bayard Rustin and looking at how Black Quakers are at work in the world, starting with our first episode of Season 2.

In this episode, we talk to Ayesha Imani, a founder of the Ujima Friends Meeting and Ujima Friends Peace Center.

Through Ujima, Black Friends have created a vibrant hub of worship, culture, and peace by providing for the needs of their Philadelphia neighborhood as they try to embody the Beloved Community — an idea championed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in which everyone is cared for and there is no poverty, hunger or hate.
