| Sumario: | Although Ellen G. White, an influential American Seventh-day Adventist religious figure, never visited Africa in person, between 1887 and 1908 she wrote several letters to Adventist missionaries there and remained interested in the growth of Seventh-day Adventism among Africans until her death in July 1915. This article examines White’s contribution by analyzing correspondence between her and key Adventist missionaries in Africa. The establishment of Adventism in Africa coincided with the colonization of the region by Europeans and the suppression of blacks’ fundamental human rights. The sensitivity of this crucial historical moment no doubt prompted White’s engagement with the continent. |
