Famous Inventors

 Here's an interesting article in Mental Floss featuring 10 African American inventors.

Of the 10 only 2 were familiar to me: Charles Richard Drew (blood banks) and George Washington Carver (products from peanuts).

Read the article and let me know how many you recognized.

George Washington Carver and Madam C. J. Walker are two that I knew.

Though I often share historic black people's stories, I am with Tom in knowing only those 2 in these 10. It's good to know there were 100s more out there too!
