Spanning more than 150 years, Black Fire brings together the words of Friends who spoke truth to power in some of America’s most tumultuous times. Featuring the writing and speeches of Bayard Rustin, Bill Sutherland, Sojourner Truth and many more, this book is a unique exploration into the spirituality and activism of Black Friends, told in their own words.

In partnership with Friends General Conference, we’re bringing you an exclusive peek into the new audiobook of Black Fire: African American Quakers on Spirituality and Human Rights.

In this behind-the-scenes episode, we’ll speak with some of the book’s editors and share never-before-heard excerpts from the audio version.
