A lecture delivered at the Breadfruit school house, Lagos, West Africa, January 2, 1891 E.W. Blyden (1832 to 1912) was born in the Caribbean and lived in Liberia and Sierra Leone, where he died. He was an educator (school principal and lecturer, writer (author & news-paper editor), diplomat, politician (who held government cabinet positions). Blyden’s 1891 lecture builds on the earlier “back to Africa” thinking of American Martin Delaney (1812 to 1885).
