Sir Samuel Lewis (13 November 1843 – 9 July 1903) was a Sierra Leonean Creole mayor of Freetown and lawyer. Lewis was the first West African ever knighted and was the third Sierra Leonean to qualify as a barrister. Lewis was the first mayor of Freetown after the Freetown Municipal Council was established. In 1896, he was made a knight, the first West African to achieve such an honour, a year after he had been appointed mayor. (From Wikipedia)
