Howland, Emily, 1827-1929
Emily Howland was a Quaker reformer, educator and philanthropist. In the mid 1850s, she was a teacher in a school for African American girls. During the Civil War she helped organize the Freedman's Village at Camp Todd for refugee slaves, where she worked as nurse and teacher. After the war, she opened a school for African Americans. She took an interest in Southern normal and industrial school and left money for them in her will. The president of her county Woman's Suffrage Association, she worked for the voting rights of women alongside Susan B. Anthony and others. She was involved in the temperance movement and, in her later years, was a tireless champion of international peace. The University of the State of New York conferred on her a Litt.D. in 1927 for service to education.
