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

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.
