I was scrolling down hoping to catch fools like you. Thank God.

The first Autobiography ever written by a black African was written by Olaudah Equaino(Ikwuano) in 1789 before crowther was born. Black African literature started with this Igbo(Eboe) man. Bishop crowther the Creole from sierra got his inspiration from Olaudah's work.
Olaudah an Igbo schooled your crowther, go check the history of black london. grin
