Mathematician

Did you know that Benjamin Banneker was a Mathematician? Well Banneker's education began early on. Banneker and his siblings were taught to read by their grandmother, Molly, who used the Bible as a lesson book. When Banneker was twelve, a Quaker named Peter Heinrich moved next to the Banneker farm. He established a school for boys, which Banneker attended. He was really good in mathematics, and even progressed beyond the ability of his teacher.
