@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.

Yup my history teacher told us all about Granville Woods. Woods had to defend himself in court twice against Thomas Edison. Edison tried suing Woods over his Synchronous Multiplex Railway Telegraph, Edison claimed it was actually his idea. After Woods won his case, Edison offered him a job at the Edison Company, Woods said Aw Hell No.

A three foot “light bulb” hieroglyph found in Egypt’s capital shows Africans invented the lightbulb thousands of years before Edison. The pyramids were built by Black rulers, just look at the ancient statues anatomical features ie Negroid!
