Benjamin Banneker is credited with being the first African American man of science. He was a self-taught mathematician and astronomer, and in 1791 he participated in the survey of federal territory that later became Washington, D.C. Early in life, he built a striking clock with hand-carved wooden parts from his observations of a pocket watch, and in 1792 he published the first almanac written by a black. The astronomical tables that he calculated for his almanacs were published from that year until 1797.
