amysutton's review against another edition

4.0

This is a very brief biography of Benjamin Banneker specifically focusing on his creation of a 1792 almanac and his correspondence with Thomas Jefferson.

- primary source inclusion
- FANTASTIC book to connect with Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson

This short summary of Banneker was a perfect read for the homeschool's Early American History course. It inspired me to encourage my child to write to our current secretary of state and express an opinion about a matter of injustice that she feels strongly about in our nation.
