Let's NOT Forget that those 'Hidden Figures' Ladies were also African American' as well. I think even these Inventors are just scratching the surface of Brilliant African American Inventors.

I did a project on Sarah Boone! This video was great! Keep up the good work and never stop no matter what. 😮

We are the true inventors! Proud to say it! They should've been recognized for that! That shows how America got on it's feet.

This needs to be taught in all schools.

Great information about our ancestors who created inventions that they don't really teach in public schools this should change the thought process for our children to let them know they can do anything.

It would have been nice if this could have been red by a Denzel Washington or perhaps Wesley snipe even Morgan Freeman as I love their voice and articulation and clear distinguished language is beautiful what wonderful creators that was never given their fool just due may God have mercy on those that have passed.

[Dakatari]

Kudos go out to all great African-Americans inventors who never received any credit for creating products that made life easier for all of us.

One inventor thatbshould get more recogieron is Otis Boykin. He invented the Electronic resistor in pacemakers. Plus his resistor are used in TVs and misiles guidance systems. He was cold flat brilliant

Actually Madam C J Walker did not invented those hair products, it was actually Annie Turnbo Malone, her products was stolen from her.

[MRIMan]

Underated video. Thanks! I showed this to my family and shared with friends

[aaronstansberry]

This should be required learning in every schoolbook in America. That would remove some of the superior complex thinking of some.

[kevinreese]

Great video but just to let you know: Alexander Miles had the inventions of Garrett Morgan listed - easy to miss 😁

11:44 Lewis Latimer was my great uncle. Often credited with suggesting tungsten as a filament for the light bulb, it is rumored that the entire design of the incandescent light (the light bulb) was his idea. Thomas Edison frequently patented the ideas of his assistants.

A lot of yall prejudice is showing. If seeing African American people get their recognization gets you uptight why click on the video? If we don't constantly show our appreciation or inform the people ignorant to the subject then most likely it will get erased or re-written. Why do you think the men and women who survived the holocaust keep their stories alive? They want to make sure there is no erasure. The same applies to us.
