Juan Latino (also known as Juan de Sessa; c. 1518, Ethiopia – c. 1594/1597, Granada, Spain) was a Spanish professor, Latinist, and writer of Ethiopian origin. Enslaved in his youth and brought to Spain, he later gained his freedom and earned a degree at the University of Granada, where he became a professor of Latin language and grammar. He is widely recognized as one of the first Africans to receive a European university education and hold an academic post in Europe. (From Wikipedia)
