Billy+P.+-+I+am+Benjamin+Banneker

My "I am" person is Benjamin Banneker Before i researched about my "I am" person, Benjamin Banneker, I thought that all he had done to contribute to America was creating a clock and surverying the present land, Washington D.C.Though i knew these basic facts but i didn't know that he had only a formal elementary education from a neighbor's quaker school.Nor did i know that he created his first wooden clock by borrowing a watch from a friend, dismantling it, making a replica of all the pieces with wood, and them resembling it. The things I would like to learn more about my historical figure Benjamin Banneker is how he became so interested in his mathematical career and astronomy. I would also like to know how Benjamin actually contributed to the creating of the plans of Washington D.C. I think a place where I can get more information is either the library or go into social studies text books and so, instead of using the internet as my only source.


 * Would Benjamin Banneker's life have been so significant if he hadn't met the friend that let him borrow the watch?**
