Thomas Fuller: The Human Calculator

Have you heard of Thomas Fuller? Born on the contient of Africa around 1710, Thomas Fuller is best known for his extraordinary mathematical abilities!
Although he was enslaved as a young man and trafficked to the USA, during his lifetime, anti-slavery campaigners used Thomas' example to demonstrate that black people were not 'intellectually inferior' to white people.
Hear his incredible story in this 60 second video!

CORRECTION: Thomas Fuller was born in West Africa

[@renataostertag6051]

He was from Benin. Benin is in West-Africa, NOT North-Africa.

[@ElysianFeilds93]

Amazing! Thank you.

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

He's from West Africa not Northern Africa.

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Yeah, unfortunately at the time I made the video it said on his wiki page he was from Northern Africa which I put into the script. It has since been changed to between Liberia and Benin. I don't have time to make a new video but I can see if I can alter the subtitles and possibly pin a comment with the correction so people are aware.

West Africa

[@omolesundayatgmail]

West Africa not North

[@mariamjasem5413]

Born in West Africa with an African name ( GIBOR) captured and shipped to America shamefully without a future verdict of his life.

[@succ7530]

A shame that he had to call that man “Master”

Speak video of french black community

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

I have been researching a video on France for a long time but it has been difficult trying to find a historian who is willing to collaborate. I hope to produce this video at some point this year.

Não existe superioridade branca e nem preta, devemos respeitar as diferenças de cada indivíduo, e além disso, somos todos humanos.

Is that it? 2 arithmetic sums.

[@princedarko7756]

Research his full story to learn that the entire community relied on him for numerous calculations cuz he was quick and accurate. Regardless, how many arithmetic sums can you compute with accuracy as quickly as he did without a pen, paper, and access to school?
