The Fearless Benjamin Lay chronicles the transatlantic life and
times of a singular and astonishing man-a Quaker dwarf who became
one of the first ever to demand the total, unconditional
emancipation of all enslaved Africans around the world. He
performed public guerrilla theatre to shame slave masters,
insisting that human bondage violated the fundamental principles of
Christianity. He wrote a fiery, controversial book against bondage
that Benjamin Franklin published in 1738. He lived in a cave, made
his own clothes, refused to consume anything produced by slave
labour, championed animal rights, and embraced vegetarianism. He
acted on his ideals to create a new, practical, revolutionary way
of life.
