OCTOBER TRIVIA
Quaker History in the 10th Month
|
|
On October 27, 1659 Puritans persecute Quakers in Boston. Mary Dyer, a convinced Quaker, is granted a last minute reprieve- but in 1660 she is executed for being Quaker.
Aside: Mmmh. I'm re-thinking the whole 'fun facts' idea, what with the colonialism, genocide, misogyny and hate crimes. On the other hand, maybe October is the perfect season for some gallows humour..... get it? Okay. Not funny. Next! ...
