Banneker, Benjamin American astronomer, surveyor, and mathematician who published almanacs 1792-97. He took part in the survey that prepared the establishment of the US capital, Washington DC. Banneker was born near the Patapsco River in Baltimore County. He was self-taught and worked most of his life on a tobacco farm. He engaged in a long correspondence with politician Thomas Jefferson, defending the mental capacities of black people and urging the abolition of slavery. In 1753, at the age of 21, having studied only a pocket watch, Banneker constructed a striking clock. This was the first clock of its kind in America and operated for more than 40 years. Having taught himself to calculate an ephemeris and to make projections for lunar and solar eclipses, Banneker compiled an ephemeris for each year 1791-1804, though not all were published. He also wrote a dissertation on bees and did a study of locust plague cycles.

The unknown artist who created the portrait depicts Banneker in the Quaker garb he always wore, a simple dark jacket and white shirt although he was closely affiliated with Quakers, Banneker never became a member of the Religious Society of Friends. The 1795 Almanac was one of six, published annually from 1792 to 1797. In an era when books of any kind were a luxury found in few households, almanacs were common. They included scientific information, such as weather forecasts, tide tables, lunar and solar eclipses, and the times of the rising and setting of the sun and moon; they were also infused with mild poems, proverbs, and other bits of general information. What made Banneker's Almanacs innovative aside from the fact that they were produced by a black man in an age when African Americans were considered incapable of scientific, mathematical or literary accomplishment was the inclusion of commentaries, literature, and fillers that had a political and humanitarian purpose.

Banneker spent most of his life on his family's 100-acre farm outside Baltimore.

Benjamin Banneker, the great African American scientist, was born on November 9, 1731, on his family's farm in Maryland. Though his father was once a slave, Benjamin was born free to Robert and Mary Bannaky (later changed to Banneker). Banneker's grandmother* taught young Benjamin how to read and write using the Bible as his text. His only formal schooling took place in a one-room schoolhouse. The school, run by a Quaker, operated just during the winter. As he got older, Banneker could no longer attend school, even though the school year was a short one, because he needed to help his parents on their farm. But this didn't mean he stopped learning. In fact, learning was a lifetime preoccupation for Banneker. According to
