Charles L. Reason
Charles Lewis Reason (July 21, 1818 – August 16, 1893) was a mathematician, linguist, and educator. He became the first African-American university professor at a predominantly white college in the United States, teaching at New York Central College, McGrawville.〔
==Early life and education==
Charles Lewis Reason was born in New York City as one of three sons to Michel and Elizabeth (Melville) Reason, free people of color (their surname was originally Rison).
They were from Guadeloupe〔Dorothy B. Porter, "Patrick H. Reason", ''Dictionary of American Negro Biography'', edited by Rayford W. Logan and Michael R. Winston, 1982〕 and Saint-Domingue, respectively, and immigrated as refugees in 1793 shortly after the early years of the Haitian Revolution.〔(John H. McLendon III, "Charles L. Reason" ), ''Black Past'', 2007-2011, accessed 26 February 2011〕 His brothers were Elwer W. and Patrick H. Reason, who also became leaders. Their older sister Policarpe died in 1818 at age four.〔("Reason, Patrick Henry (1817–1898) - Artistic Value, Chronology" ), JRank, accessed 26 February 2011〕
A child prodigy in mathematics, Charles Reason began teaching the subject at the age of fourteen at the African Free School in New York, which he and two of his brothers attended. He next studied at McGrawville College, an integrated institution founded by members of the Baptist Church in McGraw, New York.〔(Scott W. Williams, "Charles L. Reason, an African American Mathematician in 1850" ), ''Mathematicians of the African Diaspora'' Website, State University of New York, Buffalo, 2006, accessed 26 February 2011〕
