American Red Cross  

Définition

  • After observing the success of the International Red Cross in Europe, social reformer and nursing pioneer Clara Barton (1821–1912) founded the American Red Cross on May 21, 1881, to provide assistance for Americans suffering from disasters or serving on the battlefield. As a representative of the organization, Barton, who served as president until 1904, provided assistance during the Johnstown, Pennsylvania, flood of 1889 and during the Galveston, Texas, tidal wave disaster of 1900.
