Sir Samuel Lewis was indeed a trailblazing figure in West African history. Here are the core details surrounding his historic "firsts" and legal career:
Historic Knighthood: In 1896, he became the first West African to be knighted by a British monarch, receiving the Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG). Mayoral Leadership: Following the Freetown Municipality Ordinance of 1893, he was elected the first Mayor of Freetown in 1895 and served three terms in total (1895–1897 and 1899).
Legal Pioneer: He was the third Sierra Leonean to qualify as a barrister (called to the bar in 1871) and became one of the most successful lawyers in the region, known for his brilliance in court.
Political Influence: For over 20 years, he was a leading member of the Legislative Council, where he often used his position to challenge colonial policies and advocate for the rights of Africans.
He was part of the influential Krio elite in Freetown.
