@blackfeelings494: Benjamin Banneker was a self-taught Black mathematician, astronomer, author, and surveyor whose brilliance earned him a place in early American history. Born in 1731, Banneker developed extraordinary knowledge of mathematics and astronomy with limited formal education. In 1791, he joined Andrew Ellicott’s team surveying the boundaries of the new federal district that would become Washington, D.C. His story is a reminder that Black brilliance has been part of America’s foundation from the beginning. History like this deserves to be remembered, discussed, and passed on. #BenjaminBanneker #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryFacts #WashingtonDC #AmericanHistory
