Description
English:
Freeing a Slave from the Slave Stick, Jamaica, ca.1875-ca.1940
"Freeing a Slave from the Slave Stick." Photograph of a man sitting on the ground with a wooden stick across his shoulders. A missionary is sawing through the stick. Three other men sit around the slave and there is a group of young boys looking on. There is a wooden lattice fence behind the boys and the corner of the roof of a thatched hut can be seen to the right of the photograph.; This belongs to a series of Church of Scotland Foreign Missions Committee lantern slides relating to Jamaica. In 1800 the Scottish Missionary Society sent three missionaries to Jamaica. Two died of yellow fever within weeks of arrival but the third became a pioneer missionary. In 1824 a second venture travelled to Jamaica by invitation of local planters to instruct their slaves. Scottish missionaries worked at Montego Bay in the 19th century and in 1836 the first presbytery of the Jamaican Church was constituted here.
