This category lists pages and sites about the life of African-American farmer and self-taught mathematician Benjamin Banneker (1731-1806). Born the son of a freed slave, Banneker earned the title "first African-American inventor" by designing things such as an irrigation system that produced wheat and kept U.S. troops from starving during the Revolutionary War. Banneker was also one of the designers of the U.S. capital.
