Germantown Meeting History:

The 1688 Quaker Petition Against Slavery

In 1688 four Germantown Quakers wrote a petition protesting the use of slaves. It was the first public document that called for universal human rights, and laid the foundation for the US Declaration of Independence and the abolition movement. Recently the GMM Working Group on the 1688 Petition created a poster explaining the document and its background. Click here to download the poster (6 MB) and an introductory text.
