The ABC's of African American Inventions by Kenneth McClelland Pdf

During the month of February we celebrate the accomplishments of people of color during Black History Month, a tradition started by Dr. Carter Woodson in 1926. Yet while some are content to set aside only one month out of the year to recognize these accomplishments, perhaps they're unaware of how different the world would be if not for the contributions of African Americans to our everyday way of life. The subject matter of this book is meant to help younger children learn the alphabet and stir their creativity, while at the same time offering a glimpse to the older readers, of the African American influence to our collective history. To be clear, the Inventors and Inventions featured in this book are in no way a complete compilation of the contributions made by people of color, but they're merely representative of some of their innovative ideas and creative devices. It is my hope that this simple book will reveal a sense of belonging that some people of color may not realize is rightfully theirs, while at the same time inspiring every reader to search their mind for the next great invention that could change our lives and perhaps even the world. History has shown us that rather than large corporations, it's often the common man or woman who first recognizes the need for something new or innovative. So take the time to look around you, and you just may discover that the ideas for change are as abundant as the needs that inspire them.

Inventing the Alphabet by Johanna Drucker Pdf

The first comprehensive intellectual history of alphabet studies. Inventing the Alphabet provides the first account of two-and-a-half millennia of scholarship on the alphabet. Drawing on decades of research, Johanna Drucker dives into sometimes obscure and esoteric references, dispelling myths and identifying a pantheon of little-known scholars who contributed to our modern understandings of the alphabet, one of the most important inventions in human history. Beginning with Biblical tales and accounts from antiquity, Drucker traces the transmission of ancient Greek thinking about the alphabet’s origin and debates about how Moses learned to read. The book moves through the centuries, finishing with contemporary concepts of the letters in alpha-numeric code used for global communication systems. Along the way, we learn about magical and angelic alphabets, antique inscriptions on coins and artifacts, and the comparative tables of scripts that continue through the development of modern fields of archaeology and paleography. This is the first book to chronicle the story of the intellectual history through which the alphabet has been “invented” as an object of scholarship.

Black Inventors by Keith Holmes Pdf

Black Inventors, Crafting Over 200 Years of Success, highlights the work of Black inventors from over seventy countries. The author, Keith C. Holmes, has spent more than twenty years researching Black inventors from countries that include Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Cuba, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Ghana, Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Haiti, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, St. Vincent, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom and the United States. Without inventions, innovations, financial resources, materials, muscle and labor saving devices, civilizations cannot exist and flourish. This book documents a number of inventions, patents and labor saving devices conceived by Black inventors. Among many other inventions, pre-enslaved Africans, developed agricultural tools, building materials, medicinal herbs, cloth and weapons. Although historical documents emphasize that millions of Black people arrived in Canada, the Caribbean, Central and South America and the United States under slavery's yoke, it is relatively unknown that thousands of Africans and their descendants developed numerous labor-saving devices and inventions that spawned companies which generated money and jobs, worldwide. While most authors focus primarily on American and European inventors, Keith Holmes introduces inventions, both past and present, that Black people, developed and patented globally and multiculturally.Black Inventors, Crafting Over 200 Years of Success, also features early Black inventors from virtually every state in the US. It includes details about the first Black inventor who obtained a patent in both the Caribbean and the United States. To date, seventeen African American men have been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Two inventors, Jan E, Matzeliger, (Suriname) and Elijah McCoy, (Colchester, Canada) were not born in this countryThe material available in this book, one of the first to address the diversity of black inventors and their inventions from a global perspective, effectively gives the reader, researcher, librarian, student, and teacher the materials they need to understand that the Black inventor is not only a national phenomenon, but also a global giant.

The Inventor That I Am by Ronnette Curls Pdf

There is so much more history to celebrate than in one month's time. Join me, as I honor the African American men and women who made these historical inventions. In this book, is a list of black inventors and scientist's patents of many African Americans who have invented a multitude of items or made discoveries in the course of their lives. This book focuses on the ingenuity and accomplishments of Black inventors over the last 200 years or so. Their children, and others interested in these pioneers of Black History. This book includes a list of three hundred products Marcus Garvey produced from peanuts products and a Black / Afro-Americans Inventors Patent and Invention Index. These inventions have ranged from with surprises and guaranteed to amaze you! inventors and innovator's that God has created them to be.This book was an arduous task, knowledge of slave contributions comes to us in anecdotal forms. The paper trail is very thin. The Patent Act of 1793 and 1836 barred enslaved Africans from obtaining patents because they were not considered citizens. But records of patents, even to freed blacks, are rare before the Civil War. Many black inventors usually put their patents in the name of a white lawyer. That improved chances for acceptance of their invention. The U.S patent system consistently excluded and exploited these inventors from recognition and did not creating things now. It is important to highlight our global contributions everyday and notjust for Black History Month, but as an inspiration for our present and our future generations to come.We are ever so grateful that African Diaspora have been responsible for some of the world's most innovative and useful creations.
