LifeScience Moment: Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross.
On May 21, 1881, Clara Barton, named the "Angel of the Battlefield" during the
Civil War, founded the American Association of the Red Cross which she led until 1904.
During a visit to Europe in 1869, she discovered the Red Cross Movement in Switzerland
and upon her return to the U.S. took steps to establish a U.S. organization.
Reincorporated as The American National Red Cross in 1893, the organization was given
charters by Congress in 1900 and in 1905. The 1905 charter and its amendments
provide the basis for today's American Red Cross and the close working relationship
between the organization and the federal government.
