The American Missionary Association was originally founded in 1846 in Albany, New York. Its main goals were to abolish slavery, promote racial equality, and educate African Americans as well as promoting Christian values. This association was also responsible for the founding of anti-slavery churches. During the 1870s the national office relocated to 287 4th Avenue in New York City. The AMA was responsible for the founding of numerous schools and colleges including Fisk and Howard University.
