As a long time admirer and student of the life of Benjamin Banneker, I was delighted with the poster, Benjamin Banneker - African American Mathematician and Astronomer, developed and published by Carolina Biological Supply.  The poster includes not only a suitable image of Banneker, but also contains a brief history of his life and accomplishments.  The designer of the poster used an expert consultant so that the biographical information is authentic, and not the myth that is found in many sources.  This poster hangs in my classroom from year to year.  It is one of my favorites.

I highly recommend the poster.  It is colorful, interesting, and draws student attention.
