Cool Shit Black People Invented: Alexander Miles

Something I’m starting to realize while looking up stuff for the Cool Shit Black People Invented is that people don’t like to give credit to Black people. While looking up the next inventor there are a lot of things that say he didn’t even invent the shit.

Blacks have created a lot of stuff that we use all the time and have no idea that they did it. Mostly because back in the day Black people didn’t get kudos for things. It wasn’t like “Thanks, Obadiah. If you hadn’t created this thing we’d all be falling to our deaths!”
