Banneker

Banneker's nature seemed tuned also to the softer notes in the song of life.

Banneker took delight in the study of the languages, and soon mastered the Latin, Greek and German.

The Memoir of Banneker was somewhat marred by a too precipitous and zealous attempt to preach the doctrine of colonization.

Banneker would frequently, in answering questions submitted to him, accompany the answers with questions of his own in rhyme.
