Pennsylvania Abolition Society
Incorporated in 1789, the PAS is a not-for-profit organization in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, founded by Anthony Benezet in 1775 and reorganized by Benjamin Rush in 1784. For nearly 235 years, the PAS has maintained a commitment to improving the condition of African Americans and others adversely affected by slavery and social injustice. In its early years, the PAS provided protection to free blacks against the threat of kidnapping and enslavement, as well as education and employment training for the black community. In contrast to other pre-Civil War anti-slavery organizations, the PAS viewed the end of the Civil War and Emancipation as only partially addressing needs within the black community and among the new freedmen. Consequently, the PAS continued to work on education and quality of life issues for African Americans. Today, through legacy gifts provided by early members, the PAS supports, with small grants and gifts, community efforts in Southeastern Pennsylvania that seek to address the social, economic and educational inequities faced by African Americans, particularly disadvantaged youth. The PAS also supports and collaborates on initiatives that increase understanding of slavery’s imprint on contemporary life and also works to bridge the divisions in our modern society resulting from our nation’s history of slavery, inequality and injustice.
