This annual report from the Association for the Care of Colored Orphans offers a glimpse into 19th-century efforts to support African American children in need. Founded to provide shelter, education, and care, the Association played a vital role in the lives of countless orphans and vulnerable children. The report details the organization's activities, financial status, and the challenges it faced in a society marked by racial inequality.
Offering insights into the social and philanthropic landscape of the era, this historical document sheds light on the complexities of race, poverty, and community support. It is a valuable resource for researchers and anyone interested in the history of African American social welfare, orphanages, and the enduring struggle for equality.
