| Title: | [Anna Knight with the start from James Edson White's steamboat, the Morning Star] |
| Description: | Anna Knight is shown seated next to a star from James Edson White's steamboat, the Morning Star. James Edson, son of James and Ellen White, founders of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, started a mobile evangelistic ministry launched from the Morning Star. He and his co-laborers would make landfall, evangelize to slaves along the Mississippi River, and when the local slave-owners began to make threats, they would move to the next town down the river. Anna, a former slave, was a convert to the Seventh-day Adventist Christian faith whose conversion is featured in the book Journey to Freedom by Patricia Maxwell, published by Pacific Press Publishing Association, 1987 |
