leKIDS Up toys leHobbies recommends ... help Benjamin Banneker (1731-1806) was a self-taught mathematician and amateur astronomer of 18th century America who overcame barriers of race, class, and age to realize a series of remarkable intellectual achievements. Banneker’s English grandmother came to colonial America as an indentured servant. After gaining her freedom, she bought a small parcel of land in Maryland and farmed it with the help of 2 slaves. Eventually she freed her slaves and married the one called Banneky. Their oldest daughter married a freed slave who assumed Banneky as his last name, and Benjamin was their first child. Since both his mother and father were free, Benjamin was born free at a time when most blacks in America were slaves. Young Benjamin was taught to read and write by his grandmother and studied briefly in a Quaker school. His aptitude for mathematics became evident, and he taught himself from borrowed books, a power which enabled him to obtain an education well beyond the status of his birth. When he was 22, Banneker built a striking clock, even though he had never actually seen one.

The Library of Congress I apprehend you will embrace every opportunity, to eradicate that train of absurd and false ideas and opinions, which so generally prevails with respect to us [African Americans]; and that your sentiments are concurrent with mine, which are, that one universal Father hath given being to us all; and that he hath not only made us all of one flesh, but that he hath also, without partiality, afforded us all the same sensations and endowed us all with the same faculties . . . Benjamin Banneker to Thomas Jefferson, August 19, 1791. Documenting the African American Experience Electronic Text Center University of Virginia Library Portrait of Benjamin Banneker from the cover of his 1795 Almanac Courtesy of the Maryland Historical Society Mathematician and astronomer Benjamin Banneker was born on November 9, 1731, in Ellicott's Mills, Maryland . Largely self-taught, Banneker was one of the the first African Americans to gain distinction in science. His significant accomplishments and correspondence with prominent political figures profoundly influenced how African Americans were viewed during the Federal period. Banneker spent most of his life on his family's 100-acre farm outside Baltimore . There, he taught himself astronomy by watching the stars and learned advanced mathematics from borrowed textbooks. In 1752, Banneker garnered public acclaim by building a clock entirely out of wood. The clock, believed to be the first built in America, kept precise time for decades. Twenty years later, Banneker began making astronomical calculations that enabled him to successfully forecast a 1789 solar eclipse. His estimate, made well in advance of the celestial event, contradicted predictions of better-known mathematicians and astronomers.
