The clock is ticking. Benjamin Banneker may sadly be an overlooked name in our history, but through Guinn's writing, the genius inventor gets the respect and tribute that he deserves. Weaving beautiful language and imagery, a constant reminder of time, both past, present, and future, and a lovely balance between the epic and intimate, Guinn guides us on an important historical journey. A true celebration of African-American history, and a reintroduction that won't soon be forgotten.
