Review
. . . a graphic illustration of the fact that there have been significant contributions made to the American culture by African-Americans, and that these contributions are worthy of inclusion in the general curriculum for public schools . . . -- Dudley E. Flood, Executive Director, North Carolina Association of School Administrators
Reverend David Foys work . . . makes a significant contribution to the field of education by broadening our knowledge about African-Americans who have improved our society with their inventions and discoveries. It is worthy of inclusion as reference material and text book literature in junior high, high school, and university settings. -- Julian Bond, Civil Rights Leader

Product Description
Rev. Foy has put to together a extremely overdue and enlightening book, that in the publishers humble opinion, should be in every home, library, and school in this country!
The material in this book is simply astounding and many of these discoveries have not been attributable to Blacks. In fact, during these times, Blacks could not have their names listed on the patents for their own inventions. But other records were kept nevertheless. Now, Mr. Foy has extensively documented historical findings factually showing patented inventions created by people of African heritage that today, we take as modern conveniences.
