Free
The Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia (Arch Street Friends) welcomes fellow PYM F/friends to participate in its virtual Adult Education Series on Zoom.
About the Lecture & Speaker
Anthony Benezet was a French-born American Quaker active in Philadelphia in the 18th century. An influential voice for abolition in the U.S. and Britain during that time, Benezet was a pioneer in equal education for women and black population. Presenter Pamela Moore, who first became interested in Benezet while researching Quakers and slavery, will present his story as drawn from his writings and actions, both which were firmly grounded in his Quaker faith.
Pamela Moore is a longtime member of the Religious Society of Friends, currently a member of Pittsburgh Friends Meeting and Erie Worship Group. She has a love of history and wrote the application for the historical marker for Anthony Benezet, which is placed at 3rd & Chestnut Streets in Philadelphia.
