Black History Month: Inventions Made by Black Slaves Denied Patents

Thomas Jennings, the first black patent holder, who invented dry cleaning in 1821.

Benjamin Montgomery, born into slavery in 1819, invented a steamboat propeller designed for shallow waters.

But, your assumption just shows you how ignorant mostly white people are about black culture.

Most white people are ignorant about black culture? Oh my.

Would you suggest then that most black people are ignorant of white culture or is this a one-way street you're peddling down?

Right? I sure didn't learn about the contributions of black people in school. Nope. Mostly, I learned that they were the victims of white culture and then got "uppity" in the 50s and 60s.

But, I am a compassionate white woman so I felt empathy for their plight. I hope they felt empathy for mine because I sure needed it.
