According to Community Literacy, there are about 75,000 Quakers within the country and about 377,000 Quakers worldwide.

Many may have little to no knowledge about Quakers and what they believe.

On The SparkMonday we dove beneath the surface and learned more about Quakerism and George Lakey, a Quaker activist who fights for peace, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, labor, justice, and the environment.

Lakey led over 1,500 social change workshops on five continents for groups including Thai Buddhist monks, Russian LGBTQ, activists, US coal miners, South African National Congress members, and Northern U.S. students.

On The Spark we discussed Lakey's recently published book, Dancing with History: A Life for Peace and Justice, which is his memoir.
