Benjamin Banneker: Early American Genius
Black History Month rolls on with a local DC story. Black history is American history but it’s also, and perhaps especially, DC history, as so much of our nation's capital was built by free and enslaved African Americans.
Join Becca and Rebecca as we discuss Benjamin Banneker, astronomer, surveyor, and "correspondent" of Thomas Jefferson. Hear the truth behind the myths, why there are so many myths about him, and how very important Banneker is to the history of DC and legacy of abolitionism.
