Benjamin Banneker's brilliant response to President Thomas Jefferson's "white supremist" expediency is the clearest declaration of human rights and interdependence ever written! It far exceeds the edited Declaration of Independence which the slaveholding Jefferson wrote before the American Revolution began, and which he abandoned thereafter for his own convenient profit.
Neither can it be forgotten that Jefferson fled Philadelphia during the "Yellow Fever" scare of 1793, when the black Free African Society came to the rescue of whites, at the risk of their own lives!
Blacks are the true American patriots as proven in history time and time again!
