Kelly Miller was born on July 18, 1863, in Winnsboro, South Carolina. A
minister noticed his aptitude for mathematics, so he was sent to the
Fairfield Institute to study, earning a scholarship to Howard
University. He attended Johns Hopkins University for post-graduate work,
the first black man to do so. He spent his teaching career at Howard
University, and eventually died at his home on the campus, in
Washington, D.C., on December 29, 1939.
