100 Things You Didn't Know Were Invented by Black People (Episode 1)

For too long, the media has ignored the achievements of Black inventors, making it seem like they weren't as smart or talented. In school, we learn about things like the light bulb, electricity, and other important discoveries from inventors like Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin, but we don't hear about the incredible inventions made by Black inventors. It's time to change that!

Today, we embark on a journey to unearth a legacy that has long been ignored, a series that unveils the untold stories of 100 Black inventions that changed the world.

These Black inventors, whose names have been shrouded in darkness, refused to let their history hold them back. Their intelligence and resilience propelled them forward, defying the barriers of slavery, discrimination, and racism. In this episode, we're going to share their stories and tell you about the amazing things they invented that changed our lives.

Join me on a transformative journey as we honour our black ancestors and reclaim our world through the lens of Africa. Through engaging dialogue, we will explore the rich tapestry of African history, culture, and worldview, discovering their profound relevance in our lives today. Together, we will share our thoughts and knowledge, fostering a new culture of awareness and reclaiming our collective narrative.

Let's celebrate the vibrant heritage and enduring legacy of Africa, forging a path of enlightenment and unity. Together, we can shape a future rooted in understanding, respect, and shared heritage.

OMG This video should be in Every school in America. As a White Female I never Learned any of this in school. The government has suppressed Black people for so long in our country. We dont give our Black Children anything to look up to, these are important people in our history and we should know about them. Thank you for sharing this. Liz California

I remember learning about this in school. We were blessed to have fantastic teachers. Those teachers inspired me to become a teacher. I’m almost done ❤

And folks wonder why as a black man I have so much Godly pride ... We come from great stock, we come from greatness. NOBODY on the face of this Earth can make me feel otherwise. We ALL need to realize this. Thank you for this! It's a great reminder that we're brilliant 🖤😊

As a young child living in DC...my elementary school always spoke on civil rights and the influences of the black culture, inventors, poets, etc. My mother bought me a book about Black Inventors. Times have change...parents it's up to you to teach your child!
