I'm suppose to do some report on Benhamin Berlin today. I think i misspelled it since i lost the paper where i wrote it but i remember it sounded like Benjamin Berlin. Anyways i did a search and found alot of diff ones. Do any of you know one of them that could be science related that hes talking about?

Thanks.

This is all I could find at this time.

Benjamin Banniker was the first notable African-American inventor. He made the first clock in America, and dabbled in astrology. Later he became assistant to the Frenchman LaFlan who was planning the city of Washington. When LaFlan left in a huff with all his papers because he was unhappy with the Americans, Banniker remembered the plans, and as Dr John Henrik Clarke puts it so nicely, "Benjamin Banniker is responsible for the designing of the city of Washington, one of the few American cities designed with streets wide enough for 10 cars to pass at the same time."

It could very well be Benjamin Baniker, but since this is for a science class, you might also be looking for a scientist named Benjamin Rubin. It's not much, but you can get a bit of information about him here.

Here's a pic of Benjamin Banneker.

Here are some other links, for more information.

I think the first Banniker might be a typo. I think the proper spelling is Banneker. It appears to be the same person. Do a search on Google for Banneker. They all have the same story.
