Benjamin Banneker a free African American man who published the Farmers Almanac from 1792 to 1802. Benjamin Banneker was hired by Thomas Jefferson to recreate the original design.
Benjamin was assigned as one of the surveyors in the design of Washington DC. Assigned by none other than Secretary of State Jefferson himself (and George Ellicot), Banneker played a significant role in the layout of Washington D.C.
The design for the city of Washington, D.C. began in 1791 when George Washington was President of the United States. The city was not built until 1801.
