God (father) has created all humans equal; this was what Banneker (a free African American astronomer, mathematician, and surveyor) argued in his 1791 later to Thomas Jefferson who was secretary of states at the time and one of the fathers of the constitution. His point was to make Jefferson act on his word witch was the constitution witch says that all men are created equal there for no man should be consider a propriety(slave) for the other, this Banneker believe was afforded to us by god(father). But some evil people that think they are superior to other are willing to destroy and to dehumanize other because of the different of skin color or social class. In the interesting life of equiano he describe the evilness he witnessed with the African and European slave-trader he encountered.  
  The difference of social has exited long back in the time equiano who born a free man with all the right that god had giving to human kind, but was kidnaped from his village to be sold to another person as thing are sold to people, he become the propriety of someone else who decide that he had no right but to obey to whatever he was told to he was so dehumanized that sometime he wished death to himself to end his miserable fate. It’s true that all human should be free and equal as mentioned by Banneker whatever there is good there all be bad people will always hate on each other and try to harm one another because of racism and decimation and as long as those two exist there will never be equality in this world.

  1. I really like how you got straight into the introduction, and the main points of Banneker's letter to Jefferson. I would suggest though, that you be careful with your spelling, use of vocabulary and grammar. The structure of your intro is very good, mentioning both Banneker and Equiano, but you 'only' mentioned Banneker's letter in the body paragraph. I would suggest whatever work you introduce in the intro, explain it in the body paragraphs. I would also suggest whenever citing from the work your using, make sure and use quotes, that adds proof to your argument.
