Samuel Crowther

    Samuel Ajayi Crowther fut un linguiste pionnier et le premier évêque anglican africain du Nigeria. Son parcours de vie, depuis sa capture par des pillards musulmans et sa vente à des négriers portugais jusqu'à sa libération par la Royal Navy britannique, a façonné son profond intérêt pour les langues et la foi. Crowther est devenu un défenseur important de l'éducation et de l'étude linguistique parmi son peuple, ce qui en fait une figure centrale du paysage culturel et religieux de l'Afrique de l'Ouest.
