The Pride of African American History (A book with over 1,100

Well, I could never get ENOUGH of black history. I just crave more of it, more than the most delicious foods. Black History is my favorite subject, so great that it’s like the air I breathe type of Important. So, I would like to talk about this book “THE PRIDE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY”. What I love about this book IT has over 1,100 US PATENTS for inventions of AFRICAN AMERICANS. It talks about African AMericans inventing pace maker controls, nuclear reactors, ac, propeller, pain relieving drugs, three stage rockets. J Gregory, a black man invented the defroster, ALexander Miles a Black man invented the elevator. ALexander Miles went the EXTRA mile in his THINKING. BUT he did not want to WALK the EXTRA MIle. ANd that is quite understandable. THe contributions of Us Black People are endless. My BLack people have inventions in categories like science, warfare, technology and MANY MANY MANY MANY more areas. I believe without a doubt it would be a great purchase. With over 1,100 patents of BlACK inventors, it can’t be nothing but the best. I would bet money on that. That kinda book is irresistable. I’m happy just hearing about this book. There are black physicians, scientists and inventors discussed in this book. source: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/104-5871618-1475945…can+american+history

Black women scientists in the United States (The Book)

Scientists really have to

keep updated on their knowledge for

there are new and rare illnesses everyday.

so the medical information keeps building

like castle high. Science is basically life.

From movement to excercize and burning

those calories, to breathing, to writing,

to computers and the list is so long.

Scientist have an art of discovery. It’s

just a maze of things they must go through

to get all the answers they get.

But now for the Book “Black Women

Scientists in the United States”.

This book talks about the awareness and

participation of Black women in the

science field and their contributions

for the history of science in America.

THis book examines the lives as well

as career parths of more than 100

Black women scientists.

THe more Black women scientists

they have the better. I want

a great book to go on and on with information.

So the fact that its a 100 Black scientists

makes me even more happy. ANy amount of Black

scientists is great though. Black people have

been responsible for so many great things

and this need to be shouted to the world.

If its’ advertised by Billboard that’s

cool. I can imagine it, people riding

by in their car and seeing a Black person

and their inventions. You know,

If it’s in schools that’s even

better.

Clarence Ellis-Black Computer Scientist who is a self taught computer expert!

It is so much knowledge being a computer scientist.

 But to be able to have an innate ability to do something causes

 a whole lot more pride.  That makes a person stand out. Some

people need the most training and others need little training

and others train themselves. But what matters is success!

                     Clarence A. Ellis, a Black man, started off poor like Tyler Perry,

but he brought himself up in his success. From nothing to something,

that’s brilliant. He read the computer manuals that come with

machines. He developed an expertise on computers by

teaching himself. So there was a crisis one day.The

project at the company he worked was urgent and

they ran out of new punch cards.  Early computers

needed punch cards to entered information so because they

did not have new cards the project stopped. Clarence

was the ONLY one who knew how to reuse the old cards.

                             He changed some settings on the computer

and this helped the old cards to work just great. That’s

such a brilliant way that he differientiated himself

from others. Teachers recommended that Skip

attend summer programs at univerisities. He did

not have scholarship money, but the pastor at

his church learned about the scholarship at

Beloit College.

                          He studied a lot and did not have much time to do

a lot of the fun things others did. He stayed on campus

to study during the winter and summer breaks. (The man

has a top-notch devotion to his studies. He reminds me

of myself with his study habits because I used to

have to get so much help with math everyday and

on every problem. But yes, I work so much in college

the whole day is about me and my studies.)

                         There was a computer donated to Clarence’s college.

His task was to set up the computer and he even worked

so hard on that computer he ended stayin overnight and

sleeping in the lab. August 1963, Skip was one of the people

out of the 250,000 who went to Washington DC to hear

Dr. King’s famous known Speech “I Have a Dream”

           Clarence’s schooling includes:

Stanford University, the University of Texas, MIT, Stevens Institute of Technology.
