Excerpt from Organization of the Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund: For the Education of Freedmen, 1882
The general object which I desire to have ex clusively pursued, is the uplifting of the lately emancipated population of the Southern States, and their posterity, by conferring on them the blessings of Christian education. The disabili ties formerly suffered by these people, and their singular patience and fidelity in the great crisis of the nation, establish a just claim on the sym pathy and good will of humane and patriotic men. I cannot but feel the compassion that is due in view of their prevailing ignorance which exists by no fault of their own.

Gentlemen: It has pleased God to grant me prosperity in my business, and to put it into my power to apply to charitable uses a sum of money so considerable as to require the counsel of wise men for the administration of it.
