Join archivist Micah Connor for a deep dive into the early 19th-century pages of Benjamin Banneker's journal. Banneker was a mathematician, astronomer, and one of the first African Americans to be recognized for his scientific achievements. The journal contains notes on everyday life, correspondence with Thomas Jefferson, graphic projections for solar and lunar eclipses, practical descriptions of how he obtained his data about the planets and stars, and his dreams.
