  7. You left out G.W. Carver.

    Also my favorite (and maybe the most ironic). The black man who developed blood plasma, whose invention saved thousands of lives during WWII, bled to death outside a hospital because they wouldn't let him in because he was black!

  8. Oh yea, and there is so much more to go on. Blacks have contributed a whole lot to society. It's a shame on how most of it gets overlooked. But we do know that without them and their inventions it would be impossible to live good like we do now.
