Throughout his life Banneker was troubled that all blacks were
not free. And so, in 1791, he wrote to Secretary of State Thomas
Jefferson, who had signed the Declaration of Independence. Banneker
attacked the institution of slavery and dared to call Jefferson a
hypocrite for owning slaves. Jefferson responded. This is the story
of Benjamin Banneker--his science, his politics, his morals, and
his extraordinary correspondence with Thomas Jefferson. Illustrated
in full-page scratchboard and oil paintings by Caldecott Honor
artist Brian Pinkney.
