Thought for the Month
"We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history.
What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the
history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious
prejudice."

to purchase relatives out of slavery and support abolitionist causes.

NASA, invented the Super Soaker water gun - the number one selling toy in

medicine and blood serum.
History has credited Thomas Edison with the invention of the light bulb, but
fewer people know about Lewis Latimer's innovations toward its development.
Until Latimer's process for making carbon filament, Edison's light bulbs would
only burn for a few minutes. Latimer's filament burned for several hours.
Joseph Lee invented a bread-making machine that mixed the ingredients and
kneaded the dough in 1895.
