This episode features cinematic sound. Ben Lay was under 4 feet tall with a hunched back. He was an outcast from the quaker community. A hardened and experienced sailor, sailing the toughest waters, in the most challenging era of modern history. He was also the most moral and visionary leader in colonial, pre-revolutionary America. He relentlessly lashed the church and colonial leaders for committing the greatest sins "the devil ever brought into the church in America." Ben Lay became a major influence on Deborah Reed and Benjamin Franklin, setting a course for the religious movement to support the abolution of slavery. Yet Ben Lay was banished from the history books. This is a time when America needs new role models, particularly those still unaware that the original white-American identity was born in the law books of 17th century British colonies, for the purpose of establishing a caste system built on racial slavery. For all our sakes, herein lies a true American hero.
