Orishatuke Faduma, born James Davies in Sierra Leone, was a late 19th and early 20th Century African nationalist. He studied at both London University and Yale University in the 1880s and eventually became a follower of Pan-Africanist Edward W. Blyden. Faduma also helped Chief Alfred Charles Sam who in the second decade of the 20th Century organized the Africa Movement which encouraged African Americans to settle in West Africa. Faduma himself returned to Sierra Leone where he became a minister and professor. On March 12, 1919 Faduma addresses the Centenary Tabernacle Church as part of the first annual celebration of the Old Boys’ Association, an alumni group of the United Methodist Collegiate School in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
