“[Abolitionists] wore clothes made of cotton picked by slaves. But that did not make them hypocrites … it just meant that they were also part of the slave economy, and they knew it. That is why they acted to change the system, not just their clothes.”
-Naomi Oreskes
Just want to shout out absolute top lad Benjamin Lay who made all of his own clothes because he refused to wear the products of slavery. Fascinating little historical rabbit hole to read about a cool dude ahead of his time.
Benjamin Lay was a real one, and also like most people who are incredibly right, probably unbearable to be around for any length of time
Probably not so much for the slaves, but yeah, libs at the time would be very annoyed at him
