Missionaries and Congolese, Congo, ca. 1920-1930

Black and white lantern slide showing a view of a group of Congolese and Congo Balolo Mission workers. Two female missionaries in dresses and pith helmets can be seen. Congolese men, women and children make up the rest of the picture, some dressed in European attire. This slide comes from a collection generated by missionaries working for the Congo Balolo Mission, a mission begun in 1889 under the supervision of the East London Training Institute for Home and Foreign Missions that developed into the interdenominational evangelical mission Regions Beyond Missionary Union after 1900.
