The home security system was

invented by a woman, Ms. M.V.B. Brown in 1969. Her system included a video

camera at the entrance door and an audio intercom inside and outside for

talking to visitors. The lawn mower, golf tee, guitar, air conditioning

unit, baby carriage.

I can still proudly name many

more inventions that all received patents and were all done and accomplished

the public to know that we will not and cannot be forgotten.

Take a moment to think of how

our world would be without the luxuries that have been bestowed upon us

the book: "Black Inventors," created and developed by Dr. Sidney

Wallace, illustrated by David L. Johnson. It can be found at our local

book store.
