In every era, black inventors have helped make people’s lives safer, more comfortable, more profitable. This incredible collection spotlights dozens of men and women, who, through courage and perseverance, overcame prejudice and other obstacles to make their discoveries known. Intriguing stories abound—from former slave Benjamin Montgomery, who invented a propeller that improved steamboat navigation, to Dr. Jane Cooke Wright, a pioneer in the field of cancer research who not only discovered an innovative method for testing cancer drugs, but also became the first African-American woman to serve as dean of a medical college. Inspiring and enlightening, it’s a celebration of African-American ingenuity no library should be without.
