Christmas speeches, Ama Achara, Nigeria, 1938

Black and white photograph showing a speech at the 1938 Christmas celebration at the hospital at Ama Achara which was run by the Methodist Missionary Society. A female missionary, possibly the Matron of the hospital, Emily Godfrey, stands behind a table with a male Nigerian nursing colleague. Several European missionaries sit in a line behind the table, and Nigerian hospital staff sit separately watching the events. A small European girl in a checked dress sits to the right of the missionaries on a wooden stool. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey.
