February is over but Black History Month awareness continues.
I shared stories of black inventors and their contributions to our lives with products we’ve come to know and love.
I learned the timelessness of understanding customers’ problems and needs. Some of the products were invented over 100 years ago and are still relevant today.
In case you missed the stories, here is a rewind and roundup:
Marie Van Brittan Brown and the Home Security System
Alice H. Parker and the Heating Furnace
James E. West and the Foil Electret Microphone
Lewis H. Latimer and the Carbon Light Bulb Filament
Sarah E. Goode and the Folding Cabinet Bed
