Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: This book and my research is about uncovering the many, many injustices of the American government and the American people against black people over the last five hundred years in America. I will show and also prove the absolute diabolism being applied throughout history against the masses of black people to keep us in a submissive role in this American society. Through history, I have assembled undisputed facts of this American conspiracy to destroy black people as America present their version of black people. As black people aEUR" not African Americans, but black people aEUR" we have the right to be our own selves. We have the right to choose for ourselves. We have a right to reject the lies and atrocities that America tells and have committedaEUR"and are still committing. We have the right to have the true history, not this distorted American history. It is our right to be free of everything America does; we have nothing to gain. I'm telling the truth that the majority of civilization is trying to hide but can no longer hide. Read, everyone, this is the absolute truth.

Download or read book How the States Got Their Shapes Too written by Mark Stein and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Roger Williams too pure for the Puritans, and what does that have to do with Rhode Island? Why did Augustine Herman take ten years to complete the map that established Delaware? How did Rocky Mountain rogues help create the state of Colorado? All this and more is explained in Mark Stein's new book. How the States Got Their Shapes Too follows How the States Got Their Shapes looks at American history through the lens of its borders, but, while How The States Got Their Shapes told us why, this book tells us who. This personal element in the boundary stories reveals how we today are like those who came before us, and how we differ, and most significantly: how their collective stories reveal not only an historical arc but, as importantly, the often overlooked human dimension in that arc that leads to the nation we are today. The people featured in How the States Got Their Shapes Too lived from the colonial era right up to the present. They include African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, women, and of course, white men. Some are famous, such as Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, and Daniel Webster. Some are not, such as Bernard Berry, Clarina Nichols, and Robert Steele. And some are names many of us know but don't really know exactly what they did, such as Ethan Allen (who never made furniture, though he burned a good deal of it). In addition, How the States Got Their Shapes Too tells of individuals involved in the Almost States of America, places we sought to include but ultimately did not: Canada, the rest of Mexico (we did get half), Cuba, and, still an issue, Puerto Rico. Each chapter is largely driven by voices from the time, in the form of excerpts from congressional debates, newspapers, magazines, personal letters, and diaries. Told in Mark Stein's humorous voice, How the States Got Their Shapes Too is a historical journey unlike any other you've taken. The strangers you meet here had more on their minds than simple state lines, and this book makes for a great new way of seeing and understanding the United States.
