My childhood


I grew up on the family farm. My grandmother, Molly taught my brothers and I to read using her bible. There wasn't any schools in the valley for the boys to attend. Then one summer, a Quaker school tecaher came to the valley and moved here. I then had attended the school. They had changed the spelling of my last name from Bannaky to Banneker. I was taught to write and just do simple arthmetic. This was just a little part of my childhood.
