![The Curious Life of Benjamin Lay – The Quaker Comet [SSL 287]](https://lisadelay.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/animated-blood-burst-3-3d-model-f2154d48bf.jpg)
Today a true tale. One of intrigue, outrage, and progress that’s been lost to history.
This goes back more than 340 + years. Let me tell you how the tiny but mighty Quaker, Benjamin Lay, with his moral compass intact in a time of rampant suffering through international kidnapping, human trafficking, illegal bondage, and forced labor, used outrageous acts of protest and gave momentum to the abolitionist movement long before the British colonies of America declared independence.
