Omschrijving

Benjamin Lay's remarkable life story can be a lesson in courage and hope for us all.

Fearless Benjamin tells the story of a courageous little person, only four feet tall, who fought slavery at a time when almost everyone else accepted it. A shepherd, a sailor, and a Quaker, Benjamin Lay insisted that all people, of all nations and races around the world, were equal. Every human being--rich and poor, men and women, Black and white--deserved respect, love, and freedom. After he protested against his fellow Quakers for enslaving others in violation of the golden rule, "do to others as you would have them do to you," they banished him from the Quaker meeting. When they ridiculed his small body, he stood up to their prejudice and proclaimed the truth of human decency. He boycotted all products made by the labor of enslaved people. He spoke out bravely against cruelty and oppression. He lived a life of peace, tolerance, and brotherly love. A man far ahead of his time, he proved to be right in the long run, as Quakers and others eventually joined him in opposing human bondage.
