African American Inventors - Top African American Inventors

Hello boys and girls follow along with me as I read African American Inventors by Jim Hoskins illustrated by Eri Velasquez an award-winning illustrator introduction inventors create new things their inventions solve problems or make life better in some way throughout our history African Americans have invented many important things John Lee love received a patent for a pencil sharpener in 1887 pause for a moment and think about what the word invented means Garrett Morgan received a patent for an early type of traffic signal on November 20th 1923 John Purdy and James sad guar patented a folding chair in 1889 Benjamin Banneker Benjamin Banneker was born on a farm in Maryland in 1731 at that time Maryland was one of 13 British colonies in North America most African American people in the colonies were enslaved but Benjamin's

African American Inventors

Parents were free because Benjamin was born to a free family he could go to school Benjamin went to his school to a local school for boys he was so good at math that he soon knew more than his teacher after he finished his education Benjamin worked on the family farm Benjamin's life changed when he was 20 years old he met a man who owned a pocket watch the watch had been made in Europe Benjamin was so interested in the watch that the man let him keep it Benjamin studied the watch its parts and the way it was made he decided to make his own clock out of wood it was the first clock ever made in North America Benjamin used his clock to measure the movements of the stars he used math to figure out the positions of the stars Sun Moon and planets years later he wrote an almanac an almanac is a book that lists the positions of the

Sun Moon and planets for every day of the year Benjamin wrote a new Almanac every year for six years people read it to find out when the Sun and Moon would rise and set they'd read it to find out how the weather would change each season many farmers used Benjamin's almanacs so they would know when to plant their crops he was as famous for his almanacs as he was for his clock Sarah eat well we know quite a bit about Benjamin Banneker we know very little about Sarah eat good what we do know is that she was the first african-american woman to receive a patent for an invention a patent is a legal paper it is given out by the United States government in Washington DC a person who invents something can get a patent to prove that he or she was the first to have it made no one else can

Say they invented that same thing Sarah was born in a southern state in 1850 she was born into slavery when slavery ended Sarah was a teenager she was able to go to school once she was free after she received her education Sarah moved to Chicago Illinois Sarah must have been smart and hard-working by the time she was 35 years old she owned her own business Sarah Goode was the owner of a furniture store many African American people were moving from southern states to northern states in the 1870s and 1880s they moved into apartment houses sometimes many people slept in one room this was because many people did not have enough money to rent their own rooms Sarah had the idea of making a bed that could fit in a small space it could fold up during the day and unfold at night she worked out a design then,

she Made a model pause for a moment and think about what the word design means Sarah  called her invention a cabinet bed when it was folded up it could be used as a desk there was even a place for keeping pens and paper Sarah did not want anyone else to copy her invention she made sure of that by getting a patent we do not know how many cabinet beds Sarah made we do know that her idea is still helpful for people folding beds are still in use today pause for a moment and try to compare and contrast compare Benjamin Banneker x' and Sarah goods inventions how do they help people how are they the same and how were they different okay let's move on Washington Carver George Washington Carver was born in Missouri about 1861 like Sarah good he was born into slavery his family was enslaved by a couple named Carver George was raised

African American Inventors

By Mr. And Mrs. Carver George loved the Carver farm with all of its plants and animals he planted his own garden so  he knew so much about plants that people called him the plant doctor George wanted to go to school to learn more about plants slavery was over so he was free to leave the Carver farm it took him 20 years to get enough education and save enough money to enter College George went to college in Iowa he was the first African American student at the school he studied farming and learned even more about plants when he graduated he became a teacher George taught at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama it was a college for African American people he studied plants at the college George told farmers that peanuts and sweet potatoes were good crops to grow he found that he could make 118 different

Products from the sweet potato these included soap coffee and glue pause for a moment and think about what the word products means George learned that he could do even more with peanuts he made over 300 different products from peanuts some of these were peanut butter ice cream paper ink shaving cream and shampoo George only received three patents for the products he invented he believed that most of them should belong to everyone Patricia Beth, MD Patricia Bath was born more than 75 years after George Washington Carver Patricia was born in in northern state she grew up in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem like George Washington Carver she was still young when she began to study living things her special interest was human diseases after high school she got a job helping people who studied cancer in

College Patricia studied chemistry when she went to medical school then excuse me then she went to medical school she decided to study eye diseases she wanted to find out how to remove cataracts cataracts are like clouds on the lens of the eye they make everything look cloudy Patricia Patricia designed an instrument for moving cataracts it gives off a powerful beam of light that breaks up the cataract then it can be removed okay pause for a moment think about what the words instrument and powerful mean in 1988 Patricia received a patent for the instrument she invented she was the first African American woman to get a patent for a medical invention since then she has invented other AI instruments her work has allowed many people to see again pause for a moment

And think about what the word aloud means okay let's try one more time to compare and contrast compare an  contrast Patricia bath and Geore Washington Carver what do they h ve in common and how are their lives different okay let's continue inventors change the world the stories of these for inventors show how african-american inventors have helped make life better for all Americans throughout history Benjamin Banneker helped people keep time and know the positions of the stars and planets Sarah Goode made furniture for people to use in small homes George Washington Carver made hundreds of products from sweet 

potatoes and peanuts dr. Patricia bath invented a cure for one kind of blindness the world is better because of their work meet the author Jim Haskins has written more than 100 books many of his books are about African Americans and great things they have done some are about the history and culture of Africa Jim has always loved to read and learn about famous people he says I did not have any favorite childhood authors but mostly enjoyed reading the Encyclopedia Britannica and world book volumes A through Z.

Black History Facts 

 History Week in the hopes of highlighting the community during a time when their efforts were being ignored in 1969 the leaders of the black United students at Kent State University proposed an extension and seven years later or fifty years after the week's inception the US government made the month official honoring black excellence isn't exclusive to u.s. Both the UK and Canada participates with the UK celebrating in October and Canada following suit with the US February recognition no person can imagine where he's going a Mexican military in Spain number four black colleges offered opportunities to other discriminated communities black history has had an impact on well everyone.

We don't just mean the majority we mean other minority groups that have had to deal with oppression black institutions have a history of opening their doors to other groups who at the time didn't have anywhere else to go prime example of this being the Jewish community historically these institutions have admitted students of all races and now almost 40% are other than African American in the 1930s.

Jewish teachers came to u.s. In hopes of finding jobs after losing their positions in Austria and Germany, unfortunately, the words of the day were xenophobia and anti-Semitism but black historical colleges ignored those words and employed over 50 Jewish academics not only did this create a safe environment for them to work in but it allowed black and white individuals to engage in important conversations they have been driven by the fundamental belief that all of our citizens should have access to a higher education.

Black History Facts 

Two Claudette Colvin did Rosa Parks before Rosa Parks despite their impressive history black women don't always get the recognition they deserve of course there are women we talk about every February such as Claudette Colvin and her refusal to give up her seat on the bus but what's that you believe we're referring to Rosa Parks yes it's true that miss parks was the catalyst in the Montgomery bus boycott but nine months before this historical moment 15 year old Claudette was the first to ever be arrested for not giving up her seat as she insisted that it was her constitutional right and I was felt like this is my time to take a stand suggested she may not have gotten the recognition at the time but her impact is undeniable I just wanted people to come together and unify and fight this segregation number one there have been many notable achievements in black geekery.

For some reason people are surprised when black nerds or blurred if you prefer enter the scene I'm gonna give you the good the bad and the nerdy in reality they've been here the entire time in fact we wouldn't have some of the geekery we hold dear without them meet Gerald a Jerry Lawson the man responsible for home video game consoles with his Fairchild channel F the first system to use interchangeable cartridges if you're a movie buff check out Mark Hanna who could develop the 3d graphics technology used in a lot of movies including a little-known flick about dinosaurs in some Park you even have black geeks to thank for the super soaker invented by Lonnie Johnson because really what's nerdier than running around with epic water guns.

This epic black cosplay movement that's what we hope we've been lightened view about the significance of black history because we barely scratched the surface of the accomplishments of black community our school has a fine library or so I’ve been told are any student who wants who can study more about black history do you agree.

Month of African American History

February is considered the Black History Month or African American History Month in the United States and Canada. The United Kingdom celebrates African American history in October. During this time, important figures from history are recognized and remembered for their contribution to equality, efforts to build strong communities, and gifts for cultural enrichment and entertainment for all. The most notable figure may be the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who passed to Washington, DC, and delivered his famous speech "I Have a Dream." In this speech, MLK Jr. called for the cessation of racism and discrimination - as serious problems in the 1960s, which had not yet been fully resolved today.
