Overview

"The American Missionary — Volume 32, No. 08, August, 1878" by Various is a historical account published in the late 19th century. This work serves as a periodical newsletter from the American Missionary Association, primarily focused on the efforts of missionary work among African Americans, Native Americans, and Chinese immigrants during a time of significant social and racial upheaval in the United States. The content reflects on educational initiatives, challenges faced by the mission, and the ongoing issues of racial justice and community building. At the start of this volume, the editorial piece highlights recent graduations from colleges serving the recently freed African American population, noting a positive emphasis on both academic achievement and moral character. It discusses the aim of preparing these graduates to become leaders among their own communities, with a focus on teaching and uplifting the children of a long-neglected race. Additionally, the opening portion explores broader topics such as the historical injustices faced by the Native Americans and Chinese, articulating a call for restitution and responsibility from the American populace in addressing the debts owed to these groups in the wake of past wrongs.
