The American Missionary — Volume 49, No. 04, April, 1895

"The American Missionary — Volume 49, No. 04, April, 1895" by Various relays the charitable activities of the American Missionary Association in the late 1800s. This periodical issue acts as a megaphone for the AMA, with a strong focus on their work to better lives and provide education to marginalized people, such as African Americans, Native Americans, and Chinese immigrants. The story begins in the editorial section, exposing the organization's financial problems and desperately trying to raise money to continue its work, while also discussing the impact of Frederick Douglass's death on the nation and his work in abolition. This publication includes reports related to education access and the state of African Americans, and features other groups invested in equal opportunity.
