Description
An accomplished astronomer and mathematician, Benjamin was born free when most black men were still in slavery. He took a stand against slavery and wrote a letter to Thomas Jefferson. This is a lovely introduction to an important historical American figure. His contribution to the city of Washington D.C. was unknown to me. Read about his life from curious child to man of science. The beautiful illustrations are created with scratch art by Brian Pinkney. Authored by Andrea Davis Pinkney. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Dear Benjamin Banneker
Throughout his life Banneker was troubled that all blacks were not free. And so, in 1791, he wrote to Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who had signed the Declaration of Independence. Banneker attacked the institution of slavery and dared to call Jefferson a hypocrite for owning slaves. Jefferson responded. This is the story of Benjamin Banneker--his science, his politics, his morals, and his extraordinary correspondence with Thomas Jefferson. Illustrated in full-page scratchboard and oil paintings by Caldecott Honor artist Brian Pinkney.
Category Description for Beautiful Feet Primary Curriculum (K-3)
