ABSTRACT
Henry Highland Garnet as president, to establish a center for Negro nationality, this organization is of chief interest insofar as it was the object of an attack by Frederick Douglass. The facts which have become public concerning its climate, soil, productions, minerals, and vast capabilities for improvements, are such, that we can no longer mistake the intention of the Divine Mind towards Africa. In order, therefore, to aid in this great work, and promote the civilization and Christianization of Africa, as well as the welfare of her children in all lands. This Society shall be called the "African Civilization Society", and shall act in harmony with all other societies, whose objects are similar to those of this Association. The object of this Society shall be the civilization and Christianization of Africa, and of the descendants of African ancestors in any portion of the earth, wherever dispersed. The chapter presents the Articles of African Civilization Society.
