Adelia M. Hall belonged to a family deeply involved in the American Colonization Movement. Hall’s diaries document her travels in Africa, describing tribal cultures, weather and conditions, and her experiences and health. Her brief entries illuminate how she both wrestles with and is ignorant of her privilege on different occasions.
