| Item Description: | The Livingstonia Mission was founded in 1875 for the Free Church of Scotland by Lieutenant E.D. Young and a young medical officer, Dr. Robert Laws. Dr. Laws was responsible for creating a sizeable Christian community in the region, as well as recording seven African languages, founding over 700 schools and encouraging native associations. He fought against the continuing Arab slave trade, helped to reconcile local tribes and played a leading role in educating and encouraging local individuals such as David Kaunda. |
