BLACK Inventors in the Spotlight
Black history- My favorite topic. There should be more than one black history
class at every college, high school, middle school, elementary school because black
people contributed alot. Not everybody will self teach themselves. But I thank God
for the internet and books on black history because it should NOT be shadowed.
IT should be put into the spotlight and highlighted and showcased over
and over and over again.
I research black inventors online at many sites. Thomas L. Jennings
patented the dry cleaning process in 1821.
Norbert Rillieux-black person who refined sugar
Elijah MCcoy- invented a lubricator for steam engines.
Granville T. Woods-invented the telegraph
Madame C.J. Walker-invented hair care system and other beauty products
Garrett A. Morgan-invented gas mask, traffic signals
Frederick McKinley Jones- invented the automatic refrigeration system for long haul trucks.
David Crosthwait- professional on heating, ventilation and air conditioning. He designed
the heating system for the Radio City Music Hall in New York. The following url has
