Black History Month Figures: Garrett Morgan

CNN 10's Coy Wire highlights inventor Garrett Morgan, who patented a precursor to the gas masks used by World War I soldiers and also came up with the idea many of us see every day while driving: a three-signal traffic light. #cnn #news #blackhistorymonth

The U.S. patent for Garrett A. Morgan's three-position traffic signal was granted on November 20, 1923.
The first three colour light traffic signal (Red/Amber/Green electric lights) was first introduced in Detroit, Michigan in 1920.
The very first traffic signal was installed in London, England in December of 1868.
The only place to see in person a Garrett Morgan three-way traffic signal is a replica made to be on display at the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio.

William Potts invented the traffic light, not Garrett Morgan. He created a T-shaped traffic signal that needed a crossing guard to operate it, and no one ever used it. Morgan’s other inventions are great, but people need to stop lying about the traffic light.
