Friends Committee for Black Conerns
About Friends Committee for Black Concerns
Among other things, the Black Concerns Committee develops among Friends a keener awareness of the violence of racism and stimulates involvement of Friends, as individuals and as members of meetings, in today's racial crisis.
It also stimulates Friends be creative in working with all ethnic groups to overcome the handicaps of the past and to achieve political rights, educational excellence, economic opportunity, and social dignity. It increases awareness among Friends of the history and contributions of Blacks and other ethnic groups both within and outside the Religious Society of Friends and supports, enhance, and deepen the multiracial character of the family of Friends.
