@markizmarketing: Granville T. Woods, a brilliant and self-taught Black inventor who lived in a time when Black genius was often ignored, stolen, and erased. Despite facing many challenges, he made numerous important inventions that improved train safety and transportation, including the third rail and ways for trains to communicate with stations. However, his legacy was overshadowed by the more famous Thomas Edison, who even tried to claim credit for some of Woods’ inventions.
