Todays Black History Blitz is about a self-taught mathematician, astronomer, compiler of almanacs, a writer, an inventor and the man who may have completed the Design for Washing DC Capitol City of the United States of America from memory.

Benjamin Banneker was born November 9th, 1731 on a farm near Baltimore that he would eventually inherit from his father. Although he occasionally attended a one-room Quaker schoolhouse, Banneker was mostly self-educated and did much of his learning through the avid reading of borrowed books. It was noted that from a young age he was particularly skilled at Mathematics.

His early accomplishments included constructing an irrigation system for the family farm and a wooden clock that kept accurate time and ran for more than 50 years until his death.

“The big game often appears when the hunter has given up the hunt for the day”

This saying really resonates with me as often I feel called to just quit, to give up and do something easier. 

I can Imagine the hunter, tired, deflated and on the verge of going home empty-handed. When suddenly their prize appears, and they forget about tiredness, hunger, that previous feeling of defeat and now the only thing that matters is overcoming their foe and getting what they came for. 

That ability to perform when you're at the end of your strength is what marks people out for greatness. So if you're listening to this.  Don't give up, don't quit, your prize is waiting for you at the end of the day and when you see it YOU WILL have enough strength to bring it back home.

The first African American Woman to Join the US mail.
Mary Fields, later to be known as Stage Coach Mary was born in Hickman County Tennessee at around 1832 
Liberated from enslavement at the end of the American Civil war, Fields headed North working on Riverboats till she eventually found permanent work in an Ohio convent.
Her gruff style and constant cursing raised eyebrows in the quiet convent, and though she faithfully served the nuns, news of her habitual drinking, smoking, shooting guns and wearing men’s clothing. Caused upheaval. 
Things came to a head when Fields and the convent’s male janitor drew guns on each other during a heated argument, it was the final straw and she was fired.
Fields love of hard drinking and gunfights eventually paid off when in 1895 she won a contract from the postal service to become a Star route carrier making her the first African American woman to do so
Cathy Williams, we salute you!

The first African American Woman to enlist in the United States Army and the only one we know about who did so posing as a man!! 

Williams was born in Independence, Missouri September 1844 and lived until 1893
As a teen, Williams worked as a house slave on the outskirts of Jefferson City, Missouri.
Despite there being a ban against women serving in the military, Cathay Williams enlisted in the Army under the false name of "William Cathay" on November 15, 1866, passing herself off as a man. 
She was assigned to the 38th United States Infantry Regiment after she passed a Brief medical examination.
She was only discovered when a surgeon treating her for injuries realised she was a woman 
She was discharged from the Army on October 14, 1868. After having served for nearly 3 years 
In 2016, a bronze bust of Cathay Williams was unveiled outside the Richard Allen Cultural Center in Leavenworth, Kansas

Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blackhistorybuff/message]]>96cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/10896968/brother-jourdans-responseEvery so often, when I’m browsing the internet I’ll come across something that for some reason stops me dead in my tracks. Recently it was an image. 
The picture was of a sober looking dark skinned, middle aged  Blackman, sporting a very full very fine beard. He had the kind of look on his face that your grandfather gives you right before asking you to “pick your own punishment” or to “go get the belt”. Children of all colours and cultures call it “The look” and it means that patience is wearing thin.
The stern face in the picture belonged to a formerly enslaved man named Jourdan Anderson. Who lived during the 19th century. Very little is known about his life other, than that he was taken from his parents as a boy and sold in to a life of slavery.  We know that he was born sometime around December 1825, and somewhere in Tennessee, and that he was “sold” to a General Paulding Anderson, who then “gifted” and I say that through gritted teeth, Jourdan, to his son Patrick Henry Anderson, who went by his middle name, Henry. 
We know that he married Amanda McGregor in 1848 and that the couple may have eventually had around 11 children and we know that in 1864 when Union troops camped out on the plantation where Anderson had been forced to labour for his entire life, that he, his family and possibly 32 other enslaved people were all freed due to President Lincon’s 1863 emancipation proclamation. This mass exodus broke the back of the plantation and ruined the finances of Patrick Henry Anderson, Jourdans former owner.

She ruled from 40BC to 10BC.
Kandake - also known as Candace, Kendake or Kentake - was the title given to Queens and Queen Mothers of the region and is the origin of the modern name Candice. 
Kush was a civilisation centred in the North African region of Nubia. It was, In fact, one of the earliest civilisations to develop in the Nile River Valley. Kushite states rose to power before a period of Egyptian incursion into the area established an Egyptian dynasty, the 25th Dynasty, in 775 B.C.E. lasting until 653. (By the way, BC numbers work towards zero and AD numbers work away from 0, thanks Rome for making history way more confusing)
The Pharaohs of this have been called the ‘Black Pharaohs’, or the ‘Ethiopian Pharaohs’.
With a rich and vibrant trading culture, Kush coexisted in peace for centuries with its neighbours, due to its role in commerce and in the transportation of goods. 
The Kingdom of Kush represents yet another ancient African civilisation of which relatively few people outside of Africa are aware, often reducing Africa’s contribution to culture to the Egyptian legacy alone. 
Kush, however, is referenced in the Bible and The Kingdom was well known to the Romans. 
Fun fact. There are more pyramids in Sudan (Kush) than anywhere else in the world 220!"

Miss Lala though possessed incredible strength, an all-around circus performer she worked at various times as a wire walker, trapeze artist, hand balancer, strong woman and incredibly enough an iron jaw performer. 
She first appeared in the circus aged 9 and found fame aged 21 in France. She toured around Europe eventually finding her way to London where she performed at the Royal Aquarium and Manchester's Gaiety Theatre.
Lala was part of the troupe called Folies Bergère and the Keziah Sisters. She partnered with another strength acrobat called Theophila Szterker/Kaira la Blanche. Together they were known as Les Deux Papillons (The two butterflies).

As a first-generation West Indian born in London myself, I too fall victim to this strange phenomenon....Miss Lala was born Anna Olga Albertina Brown to Wilhelm Brown and Marie Christine Borchardt, on April 21, 1858, in the former German (but now Polish) city of Stettin (Szczecin).

If you prefer the written word you can read my blog post on Bill Richmond Here:

When we think about black sports stars we often go to names such as Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, perhaps Kareem Abdul Jabbar or even Jack Johnson, however, if we dig a little deeper and look a little harder we might come across the story of Bill Richmond the first black sports star.
