John Philip (1775-1851) Missions, Race and Politics in South Africa - Ross, Andrew

Scottish superintendent of the London Missionary Society who came out to Southern Africa to instituted reforms. In the Cape Colony, the indigenous Khoi people had become a landless laboring class. Together with the many people of mixed race, they constituted the so-called Cape Coloured people. In 1820 they had few civil rights. The LMS had gathered many of them into a number of lively congregations, and in 1823 Philip began a campaign to gain them their civil rights.
