Gathering, Congo, ca. 1920-1930

Black and white lantern slide showing a gathering by the roadside in an unnamed location in the Congo. Children can be seen on one side of the road. The children have wraps around their whole bodies or around their waists. A European female missionary in a dress and pith helmet sits at the end of the road, and a group of Congolese adults stand to the side of her where the road comes to a halt. 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.
