LOL.
Even Wikipedia says the following: "Banneker became a folk-hero after his death, leading to many accounts of his life being exaggerated or embellished." Also, pretty much all his work burned. He was "an African-American naturalist, mathematician, astronomer and almanac author. A landowner, he also worked as a surveyor and farmer." No hate on the dude, I'm sure he was alright but, well...one of these things is not like the others.
Honestly, just embarrassing. If you're going for diversity, pick people who can stand on their own, and give them titles better than "scientist." Shit.

You would need to pick Arabs or Indians for their work in ancient math.
Blacks won’t make the list.
