Alexander Crummell (1819–1898) was a pioneering African-American minister, academic, missionary to Liberia, and African nationalist. He was ordained as an Episcopal priest in the United States and went to England in the late 1840s to raise money for his church by lecturing about American slavery. Abolitionists, such as William Wilberforce, supported his three years of study at Queens' College, Cambridge, where Crummell became the first officially recorded black graduate of Cambridge University.
