Benjamin Banneker was a mathematician and astronomer. Stories about Banneker include a range of science details, including a clock he carved from wood (possibly the first clock in the U.S.), his successful prediction of the 1789 solar eclipse, and his role as a surveyor when the territory for Washington D.C. was being mapped. Banneker also wrote and published an almanac, yearly, between 1792 and 1797.

I selected him because what caught my eye was that he created the first clock in America which I believe is very impressive and he predicted the 1789 solar eclipse.

glady was American mathematician known for her contributions to the mathematical modeling of the shape of the Earth, and her work on the development of the satellite geodesy models that were eventually incorporated into the Global Positioning System. I chose her because she was a mathematician and I like math. I think the most impressive thing about her is that she helped model the shape of the earth.

Banneker was a largely self taught black scientist in the late 1700's from Baltimore. He taught himself astronomy by watching stars and learned advanced mathematics. From this he accomplished things like successfully guessing a solar eclipse, publishing an Alamac, and surveying Washington d.c. He was a great scientist

Emmett Chappelle was a scientist and inventor who worked for NASA for several decades. He is the recipient of 14 U.S. patents for inventions related to medicine, food science, and biochemistry. He devised ways for scientists to measure plant health and detect bacteria in outer space. He was also drafted into the u.s army after graduating high school.

George Carruthers was an astrophysicist who made the ultraviolet camera that was used in the Apollo 16 mission. George had accomplished many academic feats such as a B.S. degree in aeronautical engineering, an M.S. degree in nuclear engineering, a aeronautical and astronomical engineering PHD. I was interested in George Carruthers because I saw that he made the ultraviolet camera that helped NASA capture better images of space.

Benjamin was a mathematician and astronomer. Benjamin was one of the first African Americans to gain distinction in science. He also accomplished predicting a solar eclipse. He was the first person to create the first wood clock. I selected him because I didn't know that he was the person to create the first clock.

Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first African-American woman to become a doctor. She was inspired by an aunt in Pennsylvania to go into the medical field. She was originally a nurse and many doctors gave her recommendations. In 1864 she graduated from New England Female Medical college with a medical degree and was able to practice medicine. She also wrote a book which is one of the only remaining places to find information about her. She had to overcome many obstacles, since she was an African American woman, but she never gave up.
