Brooklyn Friends School

We will be doing workshops with the middle school and upper school as part of Quaker Witness Day. 

"Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Quaker Witness through Song"

Singing was an integral part of justice movements in the past. How can we use singing to inspire our struggles today?

Long-time Quakers & activists, Annie Patterson & Peter Blood (creators of the songbooks Rise Up Singing & Rise Again), have devoted their lives to creating change through song. Activist Studs Terkel called their songbook a “play-work-fight-freedom hymnal".
