Photius Fisk (Greek: Φώτιος Καβασάλης Φισκ; January 1807/1809 – February 4, 1890), also known as Photius Kavasales or Kavasalis, was a Greek-American statesman, botanist, philanthropist, clergyman, abolitionist, and civil rights activist.  He is known for lobbying to end flogging in the U.S. Navy.  Congress officially passed the law in 1850.  The legislation was particularly beneficial to slaves working in the U.S. Navy.  Fisk funded countless abolitionist causes and erected several monuments for abolitionists.  He had a saffron or bronze complexion.  Photius dedicated his life to the poor and destitute.
