The 339 Manumission and Beyond Project is a reparative, spirit-led, genealogical search to uncover the lives and family trees of the 339 Africans who were granted their freedom by members of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Quakers, once it was decided that Quakers could not be enslavers.
Our own Friend Kitty is one of the participants in a recent presentation that the project recorded online. She talks about the people who were enslaved by her ancestor, which begins at around 9 minutes, 25 seconds, in the video below.
The 339 Manumissions and Beyond Project is very grateful to Live Oak Meeting for committing to make a generous contribution to this project.
