Who becomes an inventor I thought was an excellent piece on the PBS News Hour , as a Black boy growing up I wanted to be an inventor but had little to no support for this, so seeing this was great, knowing now their is support for little Black boys & girls today.

Need more of this, especially as a after school program, run and supported by the community.

How about a film on the life of Jan Matzeliger: "Jan Ernst Matzeliger's invention was perhaps "the most important invention for New England." His invention was "the greatest forward step in the shoe industry," according to the church bulletin of The First Church of Christ (the same church that took him as a member) as part of a commemoration held in 1967 in his honor. Yet, because of the color of his skin, he was not mentioned in the history books until recently.[1][4]". His invention was popularly known as "The niggerhead last machine" by both the bosses and workers. It only increased productivity by 14 fold. |
