Quakers participated in the early fight for human rights because the Quaker religion finds value in all of humanity. Quakerism supports the dignity of people and states that all humans have an "inner light" which comes from God. Therefore, Quakers historically have been very involved in human rights and social justice work more generally because of their faiths grounding in humanism and the value in all of humanity.
pocahontas, little snow-feather.
what possessed you to marry that pale stranger
to cross the blue, blue Atlantic.
leaving behind your mother and your father?
How naive you were to think they wouldn't destroy you...
but pocahontas, little snow-Feather,
bones under England soil it is your spirit
not that of Cortez or colonel Forsyth your
generosity your love which will survive
Tulsa's race riots were a large-scale racial conflict between May 31 and June 1, 1921, in which white American population groups attacked the Afro-American community in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
One of its main focuses was the Greenwood district, the most prosperous African-American community in the United States of America, which was completely destroyed.
Contextual background includes the Red Summer of 1919 in the USA, which was characterized by repeated racial conflicts. As an immediate background, on the afternoon of May 30, a man of color, D. Rowland, was reported to the police, accused of attacking a white woman. On the morning of the next day, May 31, D. Rowland was arrested. The repercussion of the case and the existence of previous tensions led to the concentration of black and white armed groups around the place where Rowland was detained, very close to the Greenwood district, throughout the afternoon of the same day and fear about a possible lynching attempt.
