26. Inventors Online Museum Presents Benjamin Banneker Tells how the son of two freed slaves became known as the first AfricanAmerican inventor. http://www.inventorsmuseum.com/Benjamin_Banneker.htm

Back to Colonial Inventors Back to African American Inventors Museum Lobby About ... Search Benjamin Banneker, the son of two freed slaves, grew up on his familyÌs farm in Maryland where he cultivated a love of the way things work. His inventive spirit would lead him to be called the "first African American inventor." Growing up on tobacco farm, Benjamin created a system of irrigation that was so reliable that their crops flourished even in dry spells. During the revolutionary war, wheat grown on a farm designed by Banneker prevented U.S. troops from starving. At the age of 21 Benjamin saw the watch of his acquaintance, Josef Levi. To say the least, the watch fascinated him and eventually Levi gave it to Banneker. Banneker promptly took the watch apart studying its every mechanism. He carved watch pieces out of wood and made the first striking clock to be made completely in America. This clock was famous for its accuracy, keeping perfect time for well over fifty years. This led him to doing work repairing watches and sundials. After his parents died, Banneker spent his time teaching himself astronomy through the books he borrowed from his friends. He built a "work cabin" with a skylight to study the stars spending hour upon hour looking up into the heavens. He soon began to predict solar and lunar eclipses. The compiled results were published in his almanac which became a best seller from Maryland to Kentucky.

Banneker, Benjamin (b. Nov. 9, 1731, Ellicott's Mills, Md.d. Oct. 25, 1806, Baltimore, Md., U.S.), mathematician, astronomer, compiler of almanacs, inventor, and writer, one of the first important black American intellectuals. A free black who owned a farm near Baltimore, Banneker was largely self-educated in astronomy by watching the stars and in mathematics by reading borrowed textbooks. In 1761 he attracted attention by building a wooden clock that kept precise time. Encouraged in his studies by a Maryland industrialist, Joseph Ellicott, he began astronomical calculations about 1773, accurately predicted a solar eclipse in 1789, and published annually from 1791 to 1802 the Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia Almanac and Ephemeris. Appointed to the District of Columbia Commission by President George Washington in 1790, he worked with Andrew Ellicott and others in surveying Washington, D.C. As an essayist and pamphleteer, Banneker opposed slavery and war. He sent a copy of his first almanac to Thomas Jefferson, then U.S. secretary of state, along with a letter asking Jefferson's aid in bringing about better conditions for American blacks. Banneker's almanacs were acclaimed by European scientists to whom Jefferson made them known.
