The New York Association of Friends for the Relief of Those Held in Slavery and the Improvement of Free People of Color was an association organized in 1839 by individual Hicksite Quakers to support abolition of slavery and the education of blacks in New York City. The first meeting was held 6/1/1839, in the Rose Street Meeting House and other meetings were held in Friends' homes. Thirty-six members are listed in 1840, including Isaac T. Hopper, James Gibbons and Charles Marriott.
The Association corresponded with a similar group in Green Plain, Clark County, Ohio, and with the Association of Friends held in Philadelphia for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery. The Antislavery Standard published accounts of its work.
