Samuel Gridley Howe bol lekár a abolicionista devätnásteho storočia, ktorý obhajoval vzdelávanie pre nevidiacich. Bol zakladateľom a prvým riaditeľom Perkins Institution. Howe bol tiež významným abolicionistom a v roku 1863 bol vymenovaný do Americkej komisie pre otázky oslobodených otrokov, aby preskúmal podmienky prepustených otrokov na juhu a odporučil, ako im pomôcť v prechode k slobode. Jeho práca zahŕňala cestovanie na juh Spojených štátov, ako aj do Kanady, kde zbieral informácie od oslobodených otrokov a vládnych úradníkov s cieľom podporiť ich integráciu a pomoc.
