Abstract

QUAKER HISTORY After many years of peace work in the Midwest, the Willoughbys moved to Philadelphia in 1954. Here they bought an old farm house with three acres in Deptford, New Jersey. Though they lived elsewhere for many years, this became their home base. George worked for the AFSC, then a number of other peace organizations. Lillian was often the principal breadwinner, working as a dietician. At the time of their move East the Willoughbys became involved in increasingly radical protests against preparations for nuclear war. They both entered forbidden nuclear sites, and were jailed. George joined the crew of the ship The Golden Rule, and of other ships sailing into forbidden waters. In 1963 George took the first of many trips to India to take part in the Delhi-Peking March for the World Peace Brigade. Later, Lillian joined him for trips to India. They made contact with the remaining Gandhian movement, stayed with Indian families, and lived simply. They made many friends, and were honored by Indian peace organizations. In the United States protests against nuclear armaments were heating up. The Willoughbys refused to pay taxes and were both fined and jailed for this, Lillian most recently
