Samuel Ajayi Crowther (c. 1809-1891) endures among the great of Africa (Nigeria). Former captive who became an Anglican bishop and translated scripture into Yoruba. Across the modern age, this life and its works passed into the shared inheritance of humankind — kept here so the memory is never lost. Honored among the Great Ones of every civilization. Africa is the cradle of humankind; in the deepest sense, these are everyone’s ancestors — and so this name is kept, from the cradle of humanity to all its children.
