Samuel Gridley Howe was a nineteenth-century physician and abolitionist who championed education for the blind, serving as the founder and first director of the Perkins Institution. His advocacy extended deeply into the abolitionist movement; in 1863, he was appointed to a commission investigating the conditions of freedmen in the South following the Emancipation Proclamation. Howe undertook extensive travel, including journeys to the South and Canada West, to interview formerly enslaved people and government officials. His work aimed to gather crucial information to aid in the transition of freedmen to freedom and establish support systems.
