Society of Friends of Blacks

The Society of Friends of Blacks was a humanitarian organization established in 1832 by British Quakers. Its goal was to promote the abolition of slavery and improve the social and economic conditions of Black populations, especially in the Caribbean and North America. The society worked through advocacy, fundraising, and supporting abolitionist efforts, emphasizing moral responsibility and equal rights. It played a part in the broader movement to end slavery and foster racial equality, reflecting Quaker values of social justice, human dignity, and peace.
