Samuel Crowther

    Samuel Ajayi Crowther fue un lingüista pionero y el primer obispo anglicano africano en Nigeria. Su viaje vital, desde su captura por asaltantes musulmanes y su venta a traficantes de esclavos portugueses hasta su liberación por la Marina Real Británica, moldeó su profundo interés por los idiomas y la fe. Crowther se convirtió en un defensor importante de la educación y el estudio lingüístico entre su pueblo, lo que lo convirtió en una figura clave en el panorama cultural y religioso de África Occidental.
