The Life & Family of William Penn (NY)

Bluestockings Bookstore, 172 Allen Street, New York 10002.

260 years of bloody colonial history – an illustrated talk

A mighty counter blast to the deoiction of Quaker, Willaim Penn as a peace lover and promoter of brotherhood and religious freedom.

It will include: how Penn’s family accumulated their wealth over five generations; their constant anti-republicanism; their involvement in the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the bloody colonial British expansion into Ireland, Jamaica and America.

It will change the commonly held image of Pennsylvania Quakers as slave abolitionists.

You can listen to the same talk that was given in Philadelphia.
