Clara Barton
The American Red Cross was founded in 1881 by Clara Barton, inspired by the International Red Cross, which was established in Switzerland in 1863. The name "Red Cross" refers to the red cross symbol, used to represent humanitarian aid and medical assistance. The organization was created to provide emergency relief and support during times of war and disaster, embodying the principles of neutrality and impartiality in humanitarian efforts.
