Benjamin Banneker: Black Scientist & Revolutionary 2 Inch Square Button
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.

The 8 pins I ordered for committee members were perfect. They turned out better than I expected! Liked them so much I ordered an additional pin with a different design and again I was pleased with the result. Pleased with everything about my order.

Amazing quality of the picture. Was perfect for my special day. Printing was clear and the message I wanted was perfect. The colour was yellow because I wanted it to match my dads hat

Round Button, Small, 1¼ Inch
Shipping to Canada isn't cheap, but it's been totally worth it! I ordered the square buttons with the white background. They are larger than I expected, making them standout and draw attention. I changed the text to: "Not all cancer is pink. Anal cancer awareness". It's been almost impossible to find products for anal cancer, as it's a rare cancer. The design and printing are clear, though the text is quite small. It's not a huge problem though as most people have to ask what the design means, as anal cancer is rare. It's a good way to start conversations.
