Sometimes there is a man so great that he just throws the curve off so much that there's no damned way for anyone to try and keep up unless they invent time travel. This Black inventor Garrett Morgan decided that creating just one thing but at least three that helped change the course of history was not too big for him. Well, two changed history for the world. The other for Black people that hated having kinky ass hair.
Morgan was born in Paris, Kentucky to
former slaves on my birthday...but 101 years earlier. At 14 he had to
quit school to make money and moved to Ohio and looked for work,
mostly as a handyman. Since he was a super genius he had enough money
to hire himself a tutor. Later while working as a sewing machine
repairman he created a belt fastener for sewing machines. He and his
second wife ended up starting their own businesses called Morgan's Cut Rate
Ladies Clothing Store.
