My favorite story about Lay is around how he'd run to markets and auctions to cause mayhem. Mind you, this guy was like shorter than 5" destroying wares. BECOME UNGOVERNABLE! Lol

My man hated slavery so much and spoke out on it so aggressively he had to live in a cave,

The "Quaker Comet" Was the Greatest Abolitionist You've Never Heard Of

Overlooked by historians, Benjamin Lay was one of the nation's first radicals to argue for an end to slavery

This guy rules.

Has anyone written a novel about this guy?

“Good Trouble”

"I say, is that Lay? Quick, pack it up!" This always makes me laugh because I know they hated his ass lol

And at Quaker Church!!! Pouring fake blood on people, talk about AGITPROP in the 1700s!!!
