I spoke with Avis after I listened to the recording. She and I both noticed how the show’s host shifted the spotlight away from Avis’ message and put it on the only white person present. That person wasn’t coached on how to redirect the conversation, and Avis lost the opportunity to share how Howard University is a partner in the genealogical research taken up by the 339 Manumissions and Beyond Project 2/x

As a white #Quaker who has been learning about Quaker enslavement of Africans/African Americans, and about the tremendous wealth that #Quakers gained as a result, I have taken to speaking openly about how #Quakers were enslavers before we were abolitionists 3/end
