"The American Missionary — Volume 39, No. 02, February, 1885" by Various is a historical periodical written in the late 19th century. This publication is associated with the American Missionary Association and focuses on topics related to missionary work, education, and social issues pertinent to African American and Native American communities during this period. The content highlights the ongoing efforts to improve the living conditions and educational opportunities for these groups post-emancipation. At the start of the issue, the editors address pressing topics such as financial challenges faced by missionary efforts, the importance of education and healthcare for newly freed individuals, and the significant role that missionaries play in advancing social justice. The editorial comments on the harsh realities of opposition faced by those teaching in predominantly African American schools, underscoring the absurdity and sinfulness of prejudice against educators. The opening also emphasizes the necessity of industrial education and a sanitary view of learning, aiming to uplift marginalized communities by promoting skills that ensure their health and self-sufficiency.
