Light In Darkest Africa: Charles Cardinal Lavigerie, 1825-92 is a biography written by Ellen Leahy in 1922. The book tells the story of Charles Lavigerie, a French Catholic Cardinal who dedicated his life to missionary work in Africa. Lavigerie founded the Society of Missionaries of Africa, also known as the White Fathers, and the Congregation of Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa, also known as the White Sisters. He was also a prominent advocate for the abolition of slavery and the protection of African rights. The book explores Lavigerie's life and work, including his efforts to establish missions and schools in Africa, his involvement in the anti-slavery movement, and his role in the Scramble for Africa. Leahy's biography provides a detailed and insightful look into the life of a remarkable man who dedicated his life to improving the lives of others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
