On July 8th, we had a wonderful visit from the Ujima Friends Peace Center Freedom School. This was the fourth year they visited.

About 40 emerging servant leaders - and their leaders, Brothers Brian and Craig - started their day at Manoff's, where they picked blueberries. Then they hiked a little over a mile on the Delaware Canal towpath, ending up at Dilly's for ice cream, before returning to Solebury Meeting.

Pat Mervine, local author, historian and member of Middletown Friends Meeting will speak at the Solebury Friends Meetinghouse, 2680 Sugan Road, New Hope, PA on Sunday, February 23rd at 11:15 am about her newly published book, Slavery, Friends, and Freedom in Bucks County.

Pat will relate stories about Quakers who fought for abolition and the people of both races who provided support for those on the run and will talk about the laws that protected the enslaved, then stripped free people of their rights. She will also share stories specifically related to the Solebury-New Hope region. All are welcome to join Solebury Friends for their meeting for worship from 10 to 11 am before Pat’s talk. Please join everyone for a potluck lunch immediately following. This event is free and open to the public; all are welcome!

Co-written with Joseph Coleman, Slavery, Friends, and Freedom in Bucks County explores the African American journey in Southeastern Pennsylvania from the 1600s through the post-Civil War era. Stories of fifty freedom seekers, abolitionists, and participants in the Underground Railroad are told within the historical context in which they lived. The book includes tales of extraordinary courage, of daring escapes from slavery, kidnapping, and significant African American settlements which have long since disappeared.
