The first biography of a major figure in early US and African American history

A household name and unparalleled hero revered in every African American household, Benjamin Banneker was a completely self-taught mathematical genius who achieved professional status in astronomy, navigation, and engineering. His acknowledged expertise and superior surveying skills led to his role as coworker with the Founding Fathers in planning our nation's capitol, Washington, DC. His annual Banneker's Almanac was the first written by a black and outsold the major competition. In addition, he was a vocal force in the fight for the abolition of slavery. Yet, despite his accomplishments, there has been no biography of this important man--until now. Written by an author with strong ties across the Washington-Maryland-Virginia area where abolitionist societies revered Banneker, this long overdue biography at last gives the hard-earned attention this prominent hero and his accomplishments deserve.

Fun
Style: Chain(Silver)1
This was really nice looking on my gf. It's a cheap pretty thing to wear. Of course you need to be careful as it's a little fragile being an inexpensive piece.

We’re not recommend it arrive tangled and once I put it on, it broke
Style: 8 Diamonds(Gold)
I ordered both the silver body chain and the gold body chain because I had an event and I wasn’t sure what color jewelry I would be wearing. They arrived in separate packaging. Both of them packaged horribly. Both of them were tangled and had horrible knots, making it nearly impossible to do. My daughter and I worked on them separately. She did the silver one. I did the gold one. They were very fragile so it took us probably about 20 to 30 minutes to untangle each one. I put it on and it broke less than two minutes later, that is the case for both of them, the one that was salvageable I attempted to wear for an evening out, and it broke even more. It’s sick more time. Did you tangle it than I actually got to wear it. I was not touching it, not moving it not pulling at it. The chain is just too fragile. I am calling Amazon for a refund and they are going back -both of them.

So Cute On! Perfect for Miami
Style: Chain(Gold)
I loved this gold body chain! I bought it for a girls trip to Miami and it was the perfect accessory. It added such a fun, stylish touch to my outfit and really elevated the whole look. It was lightweight, comfortable to wear, and stayed in place without feeling annoying or heavy. The gold color looked great and didn’t look cheap at all. If you’re looking for something cute and trendy for a vacation, beach day, or night out, this is a great option!
