Photo of Daniel Hand in later life
1850 – 1870 (Date manufactured/created)
Photographic portrait of Daniel Hand (1801-1891) later in life seated in an armchair. Under glass in metal frame.
In 1884, Daniel Hand generously provided $15,110 for the construction of Hand Academy, the seminal foundation for the present-day Daniel Hand High School. By the end of his life, Hand had established a trust fund valued at $1.5 million with the American Missionary Society for the purpose of educating black Americans in the seven southern states that had formerly permitted the enslavement of African people and their descendants. Hand’s trust fund was, at the time, the largest philanthropic gift to a benevolent association in the history of the nation.
