- MISSIONARY SISTERS in SEGON, city of SUDAN, in 1925. Handwritten notebook of notes copied by a missionary sister, on the notebook of her Superior, and on the notebook of "Sister Fernande", followed by personal notes, on the mission, the Sudanese and the White Fathers. 28pp (18 x 14 cm) "... A few years after the capture of Segon by the Colonial Army, the White Fathers came to Segon, then capital of Sudan, to plant the cross in place of the French flag. This showed the natives that if France had extended its civilizing Empire over them, if it was committed to abolishing the hideous slave trade forever, by returning all its subjects to freedom, it intended to make use of evangelical charity...". (excerpt). In 1866, Bishop LAVIGERIE, bishop of NANCY, founded in 1868 the Society of Missionaries of Africa, better known under the name of "White Fathers ", and in 1869 the Hospitaller Agricultural Sisters, who would soon become the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa, or "White Sisters".
