Granville Woods (April 23, 1856 – January 30, 1910 1856) - April 23, 1856
Granville Tailer Woods was an inventor who held more than 60 patents in the U.S. He was the first African American mechanical and electrical engineer after the Civil War. Self-taught, he concentrated most of his work on trains and streetcars.
Known as "Black Edison," Granville Woods was an African American inventor who made key contributions to the development of the telephone, streetcar and more.
Who Was Granville T. Woods?
Granville T. Woods, born to free African Americans, held various engineering and industrial jobs before establishing a company to develop electrical apparatus. Known as "Black Edison," he registered nearly 60 patents in his lifetime, including a telephone transmitter, a trolley wheel and the multiplex telegraph (over which he defeated a lawsuit by Thomas Edison.
Early Life
Born in Columbus, Ohio, on April 23, 1856, to free African Americans, Woods received little schooling as a young man and, in his early teens, took up a variety of jobs, including as a railroad engineer in a railroad machine shop, as an engineer on a British ship, in a steel mill, and as a railroad worker. From 1876 to 1878, Woods lived in New York City, taking courses in engineering and electricity — a subject that he realized, early on, held the key to the future.
Back in Ohio in the summer of 1878, Woods was employed for eight months by the Springfield, Jackson and Pomeroy Railroad Company to work at the pumping stations and the shifting of cars in the city of Washington Court House, Ohio. He was then employed by the Dayton and Southeastern Railway Company as an engineer for 13 months.
During this period, while traveling between Washington Court House and Dayton, Woods began to form ideas for what would later be credited as his most important invention: the "inductor telegraph." He worked in the area until the spring of 1880 and then moved to Cincinnati.
Early Inventing Career
Living in Cincinnati, Woods eventually set up his own company to develop, manufacture and sell electrical apparatus, and in 1889, he filed his first patent for an improved steam boiler furnace. His later patents were mainly for electrical devices, including his second invention, an improved telephone transmitter.

There are people who need us to act who can't read this email because they don't have internet access. The COVID crisis has shown us how essential internet access is to our economy, education, health, and advancing the movement for Black lives.

Without in-home internet access we cannot work safely from home, Black students lose access to education that could stunt their personal and professional development, we cannot pre-register for vaccination, and we are cut off from information that could save our lives.

As many as 1 in 3 Black adults do not have broadband in their home. Over 3.25 million Black kids live in homes without a high-speed internet connection.

All of this is completely unacceptable.

That's why we're coming out in strong support of Rep. Jamaal Bowman's Broadband Justice Act -- which would expand affordable broadband access to 8 million households. It does this by subsidizing broadband for families living in government-assisted housing, just as utilities like gas and electricity are subsidized today. Broadband should be treated just like public utilities.

Rep. Bowman can't make it happen alone -- he needs our help to bring our government to account.

The internet is as essential as water or heat. And access to it is a racial justice issue.

The pandemic has made a bad problem even worse. Black unemployment rates are still higher than white unemployment, with Black women seeing the sharpest drop in employment rates during the pandemic. Second, Black workers are more likely to make up essential jobs -- which come with a paycheck but are frequently low-paid work.

That matters because cost is a primary reason Black families don't have high-speed home internet. How can we pay for quality internet that will allow us to search for jobs, for our kids to remote learn, to apply for vaccination appointments if we simply don't have the money for it?

We need to break this cycle. And Rep. Bowman's bill is a critical piece of the work.

Treating high-speed, broadband internet the same way the government treats gas and electricity just makes sense. With President Biden proposing a $2 trillion infrastructure plan that includes $100 billion for broadband access -- we need to make sure policies like the Broadband Justice Act are included.

Garrett Morgan (March 4, 1877 – July 27, 1963) / March 4, 1877

Garrett Morgan blazed a trail for African American inventors with his patents, including those for a hair-straightening product, a breathing device, a revamped sewing machine and an improved traffic signal.

Who Was Garrett Morgan?
With only an elementary school education, Garrett Morgan began his career as a sewing-machine mechanic. He went on to patent several inventions, including an improved sewing machine and traffic signal, a hair-straightening product, and a respiratory device that would later provide the blueprint for WWI gas masks. The inventor died on July 27, 1963, in Cleveland, Ohio.

Early Life
Born in Paris, Kentucky, on March 4, 1877, Garrett Morgan was the seventh of 11 children. His mother, Elizabeth Reed, was of Indian and African descent, and the daughter of a Baptist minister. His father, Sydney, a former slave freed in 1863, was the son of John Hunt Morgan, a Confederate colonel. Garrett Morgan's mixed-race heritage would play a part in his business dealings as an adult.
When Morgan was in his mid-teens, he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, to look for work, and found it as a handyman to a wealthy landowner. Although he only completed an elementary school education, Morgan was able to pay for more lessons from a private tutor. But jobs at several sewing-machine factories were to soon capture his imagination and determine his future. Learning the inner workings of the machines and how to fix them, Morgan obtained a patent for an improved sewing machine and opened his own repair business.

Morgan's business was a success, and it enabled him to marry a Bavarian woman named Mary Anne Hassek, and establish himself in Cleveland. (He and his wife would have three sons during their marriage.)

G.A. Morgan Hair Refining Company
Following the momentum of his business success, Morgan's patented sewing machine would soon pave the way to his financial freedom, albeit in a rather unorthodox way: In 1909, Morgan was working with sewing machines in his newly opened tailoring shop — a business he had opened with wife Mary, who had experience as a seamstress — when he encountered woolen fabric that had been scorched by a sewing-machine needle. It was a common problem at the time since sewing-machine needles ran at such high speeds. In hopes of alleviating the problem, Morgan experimented with a chemical solution in an effort to reduce friction created by the needle and subsequently noticed that the hairs of the cloth were straighter.

After trying his solution to good effect on a neighboring dog's fur, Morgan finally tested the concoction on himself. When that worked, he quickly established the G.A. Morgan Hair Refining Company and sold the cream to African Americans. The company was incredibly successful, bringing Morgan financial security and allowing him to pursue other interests.

Inventions: Breathing Device
In 1914, Morgan patented a breathing device, or "safety hood," providing its wearers with a safer breathing experience in the presence of smoke, gases and other pollutants. Morgan worked hard to market the device, especially to fire departments, often personally demonstrating its reliability in fires. Morgan's breathing device became the prototype and precursor for the gas masks used during World War I, protecting soldiers from toxic gas used in warfare. The invention earned him the first prize at the Second International Exposition of Safety and Sanitation in New York City.
There was some resistance to Morgan's devices among buyers, particularly in the South, where racial tension remained palpable despite advancements in African American rights. In an effort to counteract the resistance to his products, Morgan hired a white actor to pose as "the inventor" during presentations of his breathing device; Morgan would pose as the inventor's sidekick, disguised as a Native American man named "Big Chief Mason," and, wearing his hood, enter areas otherwise unsafe for breathing. The tactic was successful; sales of the device were brisk, especially from firefighters and rescue workers.

Ever Heard of Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831 - 1895)?

Rebecca Lee Crumpler challenged the prejudice that prevented African Americans from pursuing careers in medicine to became the first African American woman in the United States to earn an M.D. degree, a distinction formerly credited to Rebecca Cole.

Although little has survived to tell the story of Crumpler's life, she has secured her place in the historical record with her book of medical advice for women and children, published in 1883.

Crumpler was born in 1831 in Delaware, to Absolum Davis and Matilda Webber. An aunt in Pennsylvania, who spent much of her time caring for sick neighbors and may have influenced her career choice, raised her. By 1852 she had moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, where she worked as a nurse for the next eight years (because the first formal school for nursing only opened in 1873, she was able to perform such work without any formal training). In 1860, she was admitted to the New England Female Medical College. When she graduated in 1864, Crumpler was the first African American woman in the United States to earn an M.D. degree, and the only African American woman to graduate from the New England Female Medical College, which closed in 1873.
In her Book of Medical Discourses, published in 1883, she gives a brief summary of her career path: "It may be well to state here that, having been reared by a kind aunt in Pennsylvania, whose usefulness with the sick was continually sought, I early conceived a liking for, and sought every opportunity to relieve the sufferings of others. Later in life I devoted my time, when best I could, to nursing as a business, serving under different doctors for a period of eight years (from 1852 to 1860); most of the time at my adopted home in Charlestown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. From these doctors I received letters commending me to the faculty of the New England Female Medical College, whence, four years afterward, I received the degree of doctress of medicine."

Dr. Crumpler practiced in Boston for a short while before moving to Richmond, Virginia, after the Civil War ended in 1865. Richmond, she felt, would be "a proper field for real missionary work, and one that would present ample opportunities to become acquainted with the diseases of women and children. During my stay there nearly every hour was improved in that sphere of labor. The last quarter of the year 1866, I was enabled . . . to have access each day to a very large number of the indigent, and others of different classes, in a population of over 30,000 colored." She joined other black physicians caring for freed slaves who would otherwise have had no access to medical care, working with the Freedmen's Bureau, and missionary and community groups, even though black physicians experienced intense racism working in the postwar South.
"At the close of my services in that city," she explained, "I returned to my former home, Boston, where I entered into the work with renewed vigor, practicing outside, and receiving children in the house for treatment; regardless, in a measure, of remuneration." She lived on Joy Street on Beacon Hill, then a mostly black neighborhood. By 1880 she had moved to Hyde Park, Massachusetts, and was no longer in active practice. Her 1883 book is based on journal notes she kept during her years of medical practice.

No photos or other images survive of Dr. Crumpler. The little we know about her comes from the introduction to her book, a remarkable mark of her achievements as a physician and medical writer in a time when very few African Americans were able to gain admittance to medical college, let alone publish. Her book is one of the very first medical publications by an African American.

Georgia's governor Brian Kemp just signed a massive law that includes restrictions on voting by mail and greater legislative control over how elections are run.

This is a direct attack on Black voters across Georgia. Not only is this undemocratic, but it's a disgustingly racist power grab.
We could fix things in Georgia and block the hundreds of other similar bills in other states by passing H.R. 1 in Congress -- the For The People Act which is the most expansive voting rights bill since the Voting Rights Act of 1965. To no surprise, another Jim Crow-era tool that's been used to preserve white supremacy just so happens to be the filibuster -- and it's blocking this critical piece of legislation in the Senate.

H.R.1 has the potential to expand voting rights not just in Georgia, but across the entire country. Restoring dignity and justice to strengthen our democracy is long overdue -- and it's on us to make sure that they don't get away with stripping Black people of equal access to the ballot.

Please send an email to your senators, urging them to put an end to the Senate's racist filibuster for good -- and then, pass H.R.1 immediately.

These laws are yet another white supremacist attack on the very foundation of democracy. Instead of listening to Black voters, Republicans in Georgia are silencing our voices by stripping away our access to the ballot through law after the law.

Rather than celebrate the record turnout of Black voters across Georgia in the last election, Republicans want to "reform" the electoral process -- when we know that that just means suppress the Black vote.

We haven't seen voter suppression this aggressive since the Jim Crow era -- and we can't let Republicans in Georgia continue to get away with this. Please send an email to your senators demanding they eliminate the filibuster so we can pass H.R.1 and protect our right to vote.

At times like this can be troubling. But as Georgia Rep. Park Cannon -- a Black woman who was arrested trying to enter the bill signing -- said, "Rest today so you can fight again tomorrow."

Did You Know:
You probably don't know the name Nancy Green, but you'd recognize her face. The Chicago woman originally portrayed the Aunt Jemima trademark, and efforts are being made to preserve her legacy as Quaker Oats removed the Aunt Jemima name and image from their popular pancake products.
The brand name Aunt Jemima - which Quaker Oats officials admitted "based on a racial stereotype" - which derived from am African American "mammy" character from a popular minstrel show in the late 19th century.
Green, a former slave who moved to Chicago to work as a caretaker or a prominent white family, was hired to portray a living version of the character at the 1893 World's Fair, according to her obituaries. She was later hired to play the role for the pancake company until death.
Although the name Aunt Jemima is well-known, Green's is not. And one Chicago historian worries that removing the Aunt Jemima image could erase Green's legacy - and the legacies of many Black women who worked as caretakers and cooks for both white families and their own.

Brand Origins
It is the start of a new day: Aunt Jemima is now Pearl Milling Company. Though the Brand is new to store shelves, the name itself has been a part of our story for over 130 years. Pearl Milling Company was a small mill in the bustling town of St. Joseph, Missouri. Using a pearl milling technique, they produced flour, cornmeal, and, beginning in 1889, the famous self-rising pancake mix that would go on to be known as Aunt Jemima. Our pancakes have been bringing smiles to the breakfast table ever since.

Last June, PepsiCo and The Quaker Oats Company made a commitment to change the name and image of Aunt Jemima, recognizing that they do not reflect our core values. While the name on the box has changed, the great tasting products – the “pearl” inside the familiar red box – remains the same, with a mission to create joyful breakfast moments for everyone. We will have future announcements regarding our community impact initiative.

We want to thank everyone who has made us part of their family over the years, and look forward to starting a new chapter as the Pearl Milling Company.

Have you heard of this writer and anthropologist:
Zora Neale Hurston (January 7 or 15, 1891– January 7, 1891 – January 28, 1960) January 7, 1891.

Writer and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston was a fixture of the Harlem Renaissance and author of the masterwork 'Their Eyes Were Watching God.'

Who Was Zora Neale Hurston?
Zora Neale Hurston became a fixture of New York City's Harlem Renaissance, due to her novels like Their Eyes Were Watching God and shorter works like "Sweat." She was also an outstanding folklorist and anthropologist who recorded cultural history, as illustrated by her Mules and Men. Hurston died in poverty in 1960, before a revival of interest led to posthumous recognition of her accomplishments.
Early Life
Hurston was born on January 7, 1891, in Notasulga, Alabama. Her birthplace has been the subject of some debate since Hurston herself wrote in her autobiography that she was born in Eatonville, Florida. However, according to many other sources, she took some creative license with that fact. She probably had no memories of Notasulga, having moved to Florida as a toddler. Hurston was also known to adjust her birth year from time to time as well. Her birthday, according to Zora Neale Hurston: A Life in Letters (1996), may not be January 7, but
January 15.

Hurston was the daughter of two formerly enslaved people. Her father, John Hurston, was a pastor, and he moved the family to Florida when Hurston was very young. Following the death of her mother, Lucy Ann (Potts) Hurston, in 1904, and her father's subsequent remarriage, Hurston lived with an assortment of family members for the next few years.
To support herself and finance her efforts to get an education, Hurston worked a variety of jobs, including as a maid for an actress in a touring Gilbert and Sullivan group. In 1920, Hurston earned an associate degree from Howard University, having published one of her earliest works in the university's newspaper.

Harlem Renaissance
Hurston moved to New York City's Harlem neighborhood in the 1920s. She became a fixture in the area's thriving art scene, with her apartment reportedly becoming a popular spot for social gatherings. Hurston befriended the likes of Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen, among several others, with whom she launched a short-lived literary magazine, Fire!!
Along with her literary interests, Hurston landed a scholarship to Barnard College, where she pursued the subject of anthropology and studied with Franz Boas.
'Sweat,' and 'How It Feels to be Colored Me'
Hurston established herself as a literary force with her spot-on accounts of the African American experience. One of her early acclaimed short stories, "Sweat" (1926), told of a woman dealing with an unfaithful husband who takes her money, before receiving his comeuppance.
Hurston also drew attention for her autobiographical essay "How It Feels to be Colored Me" (1928), in which she recounted her childhood and the jolt of moving to an all-white area. Additionally, Hurston contributed articles to magazines, including the Journal of American Folklore.
'Jonah’s Gourd Vine' and Other Books
Hurston published her first novel, Jonah's Gourd Vine, in 1934. Like her other famed works, this one told the tale of the African American experience, only through a man, flawed pastor John Buddy Pearson.
Having returned to Florida to collect African American folk tales in the late 1920s, Hurston went on to publish a collection of these stories, titled Mules and Men (1935).
'Their Eyes Were Watching God'
Upon receiving a Guggenheim fellowship, Hurston traveled to Haiti and wrote what would become her most famous work: “Their Eyes Were Watching God” (1937). The novel tells the story of Janie Mae Crawford, who learns the value of self-reliance through multiple marriages and tragedy.

Sarah Boone (1832–1904) January 1, 1832

Sarah Boone was a 19th century African American dressmaker who was awarded a patent for her improved ironing board.

Who Was Sarah Boone?
Sarah Boone was an African American dressmaker who made her name by inventing the modern-day ironing board. In her patent application, she wrote that the purpose of her invention was "to produce a cheap, simple, convenient and highly effective device, particularly adapted to be used in ironing the sleeves and bodies of ladies' garments." With its approval in 1892, Boone became one of the first African American women to be awarded a patent.

Early Years
Sarah Marshall was born in Craven County North Carolina near the town of New Bem, on January 1, 1832. She was The daughter of enslaved parents, she earned her freedom at one point; some sources say it came with her 1847 marriage to James Boone, a free African American. The couple went on to have eight children.

Connecticut Dressmaker
Utilizing a network tied to the Underground Railroad, Boone migrated with her husband, children and widowed mother to New Haven, Connecticut, prior to the Civil War. The Boone family left North Carolina for New Haven, Connecticut, before the outbreak of the American Civil War; they settled into a house at 30 Winter Street. Sarah Boone worked as a dressmaker. She belonged to the Dixwell Avenue Congregational Church. Boone worked as a dressmaker and her husband as a bricklayer, until his death in the mid-1870s. According to records, Boone was successful enough to own her own house.

"It’s all come down to this.

Tomorrow, the final votes will be cast in Georgia’s runoff election -- and it’s our last chance to take back control of the Senate so we have an actual chance to expand access to affordable health care, pass the BREATHE Act, and fight for the critical reform our communities need to thrive.

But only if we elect Rev. Warnock and Jon Ossoff.

We can make a difference in Georgia, but only with your help, Willis. Rush a donation of any amount before tomorrow’s Senate runoff election to keep our get-out-the-vote operation going and protect every voter’s voice >>
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

For far too long, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans have blocked any and all attempts at progress -- and if we don’t take back control of the Senate tomorrow, they will willingly stand in the way of the Biden-Harris administration’s priorities -- and most importantly, our priorities.

Black people stepped up and delivered for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Now, we’re going to do it again for Rev. Warnock and Jon Ossoff -- but we have to give voters the resources and information they need to make their voices heard, and that doesn’t come cheap.

Pitch in right now to help get out the vote on the final day of this critical election. We know they’ll try to suppress Black voters’ voices, and we have to be ready to defend our right to vote.
