A portrait of Benjamin Banneker on the cover of his Farmers Almanac-circa 1795. Benjamin Banneker. Benjamin Banneker was a self-educated scientist, astronomer, inventor, writer, and antislavery publicist. He built a striking clock entirely from wood, published a Farmers' Almanac, and actively campaigned against slavery.
He enjoyed eviable results as a tobacco farmer, and harvested his own food crop. Banneker was among the first Americans, and the first African-American, to publish almanacs, a valuable tool in an agricultural economy. His almanacs were publicly sold from 1792 to 1799, and did quite well. Banneker was the first high profile Black Civil Rights leader.
