A Quiet Roar: The Unparalleled Lives of Bayard Rustin & Sarah Mapps Douglass

  • Arch Street Meeting House Preservation Trust 320 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA, 19106 United States (map)

An immersive performance will bridge the stories of Bayard Rustin and Sarah Mapps Douglass, two phenomenal Black Philadelphian Quakers who walked the halls of ASMH a century apart. Yet, both struggled with racial injustice, political activism, and their experiences within the Quaker faith.

This 45-minute interpretive program brings their writings and experiences back to life, highlighting the often-overlooked intersections of race, faith, and freedom.

Launching Memorial Day 2026, the program will run on Saturday mornings and afternoons from May 25, 2026, to Labor Day, September 7, 2026.
