Able to do this without him. Every time you see something made out of a peanut you think of him. He came up with more than 300 different ways to use peanuts.

Carver devoted his whole life to researching something as little as a peanut to make a humongous contribution to the world. Another great inventor was Granville T. Woods, also known as the Black Edison. He invented many inventions throughout his lifetime.

His inventions included the chicken egg incubator, automatic air brakes, and various improvements on railways, such as the steam boiler furnace.Even though he nvented all of these things, Granville T. Woods dedicated his life to creating a range of inventions relating to the railroad industry. He invented more than a dozen devices to improve electric railway cars and many more for controlling the flow of electricity.

His most famous invention was an invention used to let the engineer know how close the train was to other trains which helped cut down many accidents on the train tracks. (Bellis n. d. ) Garret Morgan was also a great inventor whose invention had a major impact on the world.

He had two major inventions in his life: the gas mask and the traffic light. Even though he has invented many things, Garret is known mostly for the traffic light. Take a second and think about what driving would be like without lights to direct traffic at an intersection. There would be a whole lot of accidents every day. Because of this, the impact of his invention is felt by everyone in the world on a daily basis. You cannot drive anywhere, almost, without seeing a traffic light at least one time and, on top of that, they have saved so many lives.

Another great inventor who had a very big impact, that most girls would be familiar with, is Madame C. J. Walker. Madame Walker revolutionized the hair care and cosmetics industry for African American women. If it wasn't for her some of the girls in the world today would look like they got in a fght with a hair dryer.

Thank goodness for her major contributions. Another great African American inventor was named Otis Boykin. Otis was known as an electronic phenomenon. He was responsible and well known for the artificial heart stimulator, or pacemaker.Many families are impacted by his invention everyday in the United States because many people have to get pacemakers to live.

Even though e is most known for that invention, he is also known for a couple more inventions. Otis invented more than two dozen electronic devices during his lifetime. Even though those are probably the biggest inventions there are many more that we see every day. You could probably see about more than a dozen African American made inventions in one day. For example, if you were a business man/woman.

When you wake up in the morning and your hair is all messed up you reach for a brush. This brush was an invention by Lydia Newman, a black woman. Then, when you go to eat or drink, you probably sit at the kitchen table. You wouldn't be able to do this without the contributions made by H. A. Jackson.

After that, most likely, you are on your way to work. While you are on the road you will probably have to go through some traffic lights. These traffic lights were invented by Garrett Morgan in 1923 who also invented the gas mask 1914.If he had not strived to make these lights, automobiles might still be crashing into one another at intersections. Once you finally make it to the office you might have an office on the top floor. Alexander Miles made it possible for you to ride the elevator instead of walking up a lot of stairs.

Once the whole day has passed and you are back at home, I'm sure you will need a light and of course that lamp will need a light bulb. The lamp that you might use was invented by Michael C. Harvey and the light bulb by Lewis Latimer.Without the efforts of them, we might still be in the dark. All these inventions can be seen in one day and they are all made by African-Americans.

These inventions are incredible and leave a mark on history (Lund 2008). Now that we know so much about black inventors we will know when we see an invention that has come from an African American inventor. We have to learn to ppreciate the things that African American inventors have done because if it wasn't for them the world would be a whole lot different.
