Fearless Benjamin tells the story of a courageous little person, only four feet tall, who fought slavery at a time when almost everyone else accepted it. A shepherd, a sailor, and a Quaker, Benjamin Lay insisted that all people, of all nations and races around the world, were equal. Every human being—rich and poor, men and women, Black and white—deserved respect, love, and freedom. After he protested against his fellow Quakers for enslaving others in violation of the golden rule, “do to others as you would have them do to you,” they banished him from the Quaker meeting. When they ridiculed his small body, he stood up to their prejudice and proclaimed the truth of human decency. He boycotted all products made by the labor of enslaved people. He spoke out bravely against cruelty and oppression. He lived a life of peace, tolerance, and brotherly love. A man far ahead of his time, he proved to be right in the long run, as Quakers and others eventually joined him in opposing human bondage. Praise  "Benjamin Lay was a person of almost super-human compassion and courage and he is one of history’s most remarkable heroes. This beautiful book does his astonishing legacy justice and will awe and inspire readers of all ages." —Astra Taylor, coauthor of Solidarity: The Past, Present, and Future of a World-Changing Idea "From the plain words of Michelle Markel and Marcus Rediker to the warm and colorful pictures of Sarah Bachman, text and image combine to tell a real story of how a little person with a big heart, a clear conscience, a book under his arm, and truth out of his mouth could do mighty deeds against slavery, so wicked and so wrong then (and now). Everybody can learn from this beautiful and heroic story, children and grown-ups alike." —Peter Linebaugh, author of Stop, Thief! The Commons, Enclosures, and Resistance "Markel and Rediker have revealed a fascinating story about a little person with a huge heart, deep principles, and unflinching commitment to abolition. By daring to confront hypocrisy, Benjamin Lay’s life is a morality tale for our times." —Cynthia Levinson, author of The People’s Painter: How Ben Shahn Fought for Justice Through Art BUY THE BOOK HERE.
