Family First: The Inventors Workshop with Dulce Tavares

An investigation into the history of Invention will lead you to the discovery that American innovation is filled with the contributions of black inventors. Many every-day products and objects are related to, derivative of, or influenced by the creations of black inventors. From blood-banks, the electric trolley, egg beaters, and clothes dryers to the refrigerator, lawn mowers and the pencil sharpener, the list of remarkable inventions created by African-Americans is endless. Inventors such as George Washington Carver and Madam CJ Walker leap to mind when thinking about famous African-American inventors.
