The FWCC publication on Tom Fox, Tribute to a Peacemaker is available for preparatory reading for the Gathering.

Gwen Erickson, archivist/historian at the Hegge Library at Guilford College, Greensboro, North Carolina will share with us ways that early South Carolina Friends responded to the crises of war and slavery.
