Offered here are two early booklets created by Joanna P.Moore born in Pennsylvania who was an early activist in support of freed slaves from 1863-1916 when she died in Selma Alabama.
Civil War Relief Work: In 1863, she traveled to Island Number Ten on the Mississippi River. There, she provided vital assistance and literacy classes to over 1,000 Black women and children seeking protection from the Union Army.
The "Fireside Schools": In 1884, she founded home-based "Fireside Schools" to promote adult literacy, parent-led education, and family Bible study.
Publishing and Literature: To support her educational programs, she founded and edited a monthly Christian magazine called Hope in 1885. This publication offered instruction on religious studies and practical child-rearing.
Southern Ministry: She traveled extensively throughout Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama. Her evangelistic efforts in the face of local Reconstruction-era opposition earned her the nickname the "Swamp Angel of the South".
