William Walrond Jackson (1811-1895), an alumnus of Codrington College, was Bishop of Antigua from 1860 but was forced to return to England through ill health in 1879. This cover is noted on arrival as having been sent by the Secretary to the Rio Pongas Mission to West Africa, an attempt to realise Codrington’s vision for missionaries to be trained at the College and sent to Africa as “a glorious opportunity to send educated [i.e. Afro-Barbadians] from Barbados back to West Africa to assist in the imperialist work of spreading Western Civilisation and Christianity”. However, after some initial progress, between 1873 and 1900 when additional Sierra Leonean assistants were hired, relations between them and the African-descended West Indian missionaries deteriorated amid allegations of illicit sexual relations and illegal trading by the black missionaries, leading to the downfall of John Henry A. Duport, the Mission’s first black Head Missionary. Photo. (Image1)
