The International Order of Twelve Knights and Daughters of Tabor is a black fraternal organization best known as the sponsor of the Taborian Hospital. It was founded in 1872 in Independence, Missouri by Rev. Moses Dickson, an ex-slave born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on April 5, 1824. The order's statement of principles pledged to advance "Christianity, education, morality and temperance and the art of governing, self reliance and true manhood and womanhood." Like many other fraternal societies at the time, black or white, it offered sickness and burial insurance and a means for members to socialize.
