Benjamin Banneker: Black Scientist & Revolutionary Poster
Benjamin Banneker was a remarkable figure born into a time of great inequality. Born free in 1731 in Ellicott's Mills, Maryland, he overcame societal obstacles to become a renowned mathematician, astronomer, almanac author, and surveyor. - Banneker's path to knowledge was largely self-directed. With limited formal education, he devoured books and developed a deep passion for mathematics and astronomy. His most significant achievement was the creation of highly accurate almanacs, which predicted astronomical events and provided valuable agricultural information. These almanacs gained widespread recognition and were used by farmers across the region. - In 1791, Banneker played a pivotal role in the surveying of the land that would become the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. His contributions to this monumental project were invaluable, demonstrating his exceptional skills as a surveyor. - Banneker's intellectual abilities and unwavering belief in equality led him to engage in correspondence with prominent figures of his time. Notably, he exchanged letters with Thomas Jefferson, the then-Secretary of State, urging him to address the issue of slavery and promote racial equality. Banneker's courageous stance made him a significant voice in the early American movement for civil rights. - Benjamin Banneker's legacy extends far beyond his accomplishments as a scientist and intellectual. He serves as an inspiration to all who strive for knowledge and justice, proving that talent and determination can overcome even the most challenging circumstances. His story reminds us of the importance of education, perseverance, and the pursuit of a more equitable society.

I was given a small budget to decorate a free clinic. I ordered many of the posters from Zazzle because I could select various sizes that fit frames we could re-purpose. The quality of the printing is fine and there's a wide selection of subjects and styles to choose from. The paper quality on most of the items I ordered was decent. For some reason, though, the Ibis poster on "Perfect Poster (Glossy Finish)" is on very flimsy paper. It'll look fine when framed, but I would upgrade the paper choice if I did this over again. The image quality, colors, and printing quality were fine -exactly what I expected.

I love this calendar! The colors are rich and beautiful and the weight of the paper is perfect. It's not too thin. I hung it with a bit of double-sided tape and it lays flat to the wall. It looks great in my kitchen. It's perfect. The printing is bright and the colors are perfect.

I WAS ABLE TO CREATE THIS MEMORIAL POSTER FROM A TEMPLATE USED FROM ZAZZLE. MODIFICATIONS AND EDITS WERE EASY AND THE END PRODUCT WAS AMAZING. IT WAS THE CENTER OF OUR REUNION AND I RECEIVED SO MANY COMPLIMENTS ON THE DESIGN. THANK YOU ZAZZLE, ONCE AGAIN, FOR PROVIDING SUCH A QUALITY PRODUCT FROM START TO FINISH! PRINTINGING WAS AMAZING! EVEN BETTER THAN I ANTICIPATED!
