Whether you feel you are well  educated about racism in America today, or just ready to engage in the conversation, please join other Friends in the Quarter as we take this journey together.

Children’s Program: Lenape Native American Culture*  Lecture & Presentation with Shelley DePaul

This program is also in preparation for the November 7th Continuing Sessions event, where we continue the discussion at the Yearly Meeting level.

Arranged for our young Friends (though all ages are welcome), this program  will include primary history regarding the Lenape, who remained in Pennsylvania and how they remain active today as caretakers of their homeland and the Delaware River. Activities for crafts, songs, as well as a display of educational      materials developed to teach Lenape language and culture.

* This program is supported by the Hadley Fund, and is open to the public.
