From soil-preserving crop rotation methods and innovative beauty products to the filaments that made electric light bulbs possible and laser probes that correct cataracts, African American inventors and scientists have revolutionized daily life in the modern world. With profiles of towering figures like George Washington Carver, Madam C. J. Walker, and Mae Jemison, this inspiring collection celebrates the often unsung and little known accomplishments and innovations of African American scientists, engineers, inventors, and entrepreneurs. They overcame injustice, prejudice, and inequality of access to triumph in every American field of endeavor, from agriculture to the space program.
