∙ 9y agoBenjamin Banneker was a free scientist, surveyor and almanac maker who corresponded with Jefferson on topics of slavery and racial equality. He challenged Jeffersonâ??s possible hypocrisy of writing a document that proclaimed freedom for all while keeping slaves. He also accused Jefferson of physically beating his slaves. Jefferson carried on a correspondence with Banneker that, while not addressing the accusations, expressed his desire for the advancement of Americaâ??s black people.
