BLACK SCIENTISTS & INVENTORS-African American Drew Carver Julian Just Latimer

Description: I LOVE visiting Planetariums when I travel around the country. I really enjoy wandering around and reading their displays to see how they reach out to interest and excite the public about the beauty and wonder of our Universe. Rarely do I encounter anything that makes me stop in my tracks. However, my first visit to the Adler Planetarium in Chicago can only be described as a life-changing experience for me. I turned a corner, entered a room, and stood face to face with a magnificent display on the life of BENJAMIN BANNEKER. WHO? I had never heard of him before, not in any of my studies and most definitely not in any history of Astronomy texts. I was completely blown away by this fascinating and IMPORTANT self-taught genius who happened to have been born with the wrong colored skin to warrant any real wide-spread attention or well-deserved RESPECT during the time when he was alive (1731-1806) or, unfortunately it seems, since. (He WAS finally recognized with a U.S. Postage Stamp in 1980.) HOW COULD HISTORY HAVE JUST LET HIM SLIP BETWEEN THE CRACKS? There was never an "official" portrait, so subsequent drawings and images can be fairly inconsistent as to what he really looked like. This became a serious issue when I tried to commission one of our shirt printers to create a Banneker T-shirt. Wanting to put his new 8-color printer to the test, he wanted to create a life-like portrait but found so many competing images that he was wary to inaccurately represent his likeness. Instead, we went back and forth on a few ideas that ultimately lead to the creation of this shirt design. We are very proud to have been part of this, even if, ultimately, it didn't include Banneker. So, here we present one of the greatest shirts you will ever find to wear during February to help celebrate Black History Month. PLEASE remember that there are 11 OTHER months during which this is STILL A GREAT DESIGN!!! In the meantime, I am STILL pushing for a Benjamin Banneker T-shirt...stay tuned! From our current line-up of popular, best selling T-shirts. Up for sale is a T-shirt celebrating the contributions to Science and the World from a small handful of BLACK Scientists, and believe me, there are MANY more who deserve the same honor, if not MUCH more! History does NOT just belong to dead white guys! These are BRAND NEW, FIRST QUALITY, preshrunk 100% cotton shirts, available in size SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, XL, XXL (EXTRA EXTRA LARGE, DOUBLE XL, 2XL) and/or XXXL (TRIPLE XL, 3XL). This is an original, multi-color design, screen-printed onto top quality shirts for durability and long life...this is NOT some cheap iron-on design. Suggested to sell for $25.00 ($27.00 for 2XL, $29.00 for 3XL) and up (plus postage), I am offering these for $24.00 each ($26.00 for 2XL, $28.00 for 3XL), which includes free shipping to anywhere in the U.S. You can combine this with other items that I am selling to receive a refund for each additional item after the first, once shipped. This refund reflects my savings in postage fees by combining your orders and is based on the total weight of the items. International buyers are eligible for the multi-item discount (WHEN YOU USE THE SHOPPING CART FEATURE AND PAY FOR ALL OF YOUR ITEMS IN A SINGLE PAYMENT!) and receive free shipping to the Global Shipping Program Center in Kentucky, USA, but are responsible for all additional fees for postage, customs, tariffs, and/or other import charges.
