NYC Orphanage
The girls' playground of an orphanage for Black children, in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, New York, circa 1875. Founded by three Quakers (Anna Shotwell, Hanna Shotwell and Mary Lindley Murray) and originally known as the 'Colored Orphan Asylum' (or the 'Free Negro Orphan Asylum'), the institution was one of the first of its kind in the country to take in Black children whose parents had died, or were not able to provide care for them.
