About This Design

Benjamin Banneker: Black Scientist & Revolutionary Napkins

Benjamin Banneker: Black Scientist & Revolutionary Napkins

Benjamin Banneker was a remarkable figure born into a time of great inequality. Born free in 1731 in Ellicott's Mills, Maryland, he overcame societal obstacles to become a renowned mathematician, astronomer, almanac author, and surveyor. - Banneker's path to knowledge was largely self-directed. With limited formal education, he devoured books and developed a deep passion for mathematics and astronomy. His most significant achievement was the creation of highly accurate almanacs, which predicted astronomical events and provided valuable agricultural information. These almanacs gained widespread recognition and were used by farmers across the region. - In 1791, Banneker played a pivotal role in the surveying of the land that would become the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. His contributions to this monumental project were invaluable, demonstrating his exceptional skills as a surveyor. - Banneker's intellectual abilities and unwavering belief in equality led him to engage in correspondence with prominent figures of his time. Notably, he exchanged letters with Thomas Jefferson, the then-Secretary of State, urging him to address the issue of slavery and promote racial equality. Banneker's courageous stance made him a significant voice in the early American movement for civil rights. - Benjamin Banneker's legacy extends far beyond his accomplishments as a scientist and intellectual. He serves as an inspiration to all who strive for knowledge and justice, proving that talent and determination can overcome even the most challenging circumstances. His story reminds us of the importance of education, perseverance, and the pursuit of a more equitable society.

Excellent detail. The party concept was barbershop conversations. Napkins were half folded, placed along other objects. Will I reorder again, surely will be. Next concept, I can't tell you.🙂 Thanks .
