Banneker: The Afro-American Astronomer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798888970140)

An extraordinary mind in a time where most people of African descent in the United States were denied the right to a formal education and-having no such access to the opportunity--Banneker was for the most part self-taught. He was the author of several commercially successful almanacs, aided in the survey of Washington D.C., and frequently corresponded with Thomas Jefferson, to plead for the justice and freedom of enslaved Africans within the U.S.
