29 things we would not have if not for Black Inventors (PART 2)

16. Lawn Mower - John Albert Burr – The lawnmower’s best makeover ever brought better traction, rotary blades, and allowed cutting closer to buildings. 17. Lawn Sprinkler - Joseph A. Smith – We should honor this man for helping with Father’s Day ideas eve-ry year. 18. Mail Box - Phillip Downing – Before this invention, people had to make a long trip to the Post Office to mail a letter. 19. Modern Lock - Washington Martin – His patent was an improvement on the 4,000-year-old Chinese bolt. 20. Modern Toilet - Thomas Elkins – He influenced several major patents, but it’s this one we appreciate most (not to knock the multi-purpose table or refrigerators for dead bodies). 21. Mop - Thomas W. Stewart – He’s kept us off our hands and knees since 1893. 22. Pacemaker - Otis Boykin – On top of this lifesaving invention, he was born in Dallas, Texas. Double. Greatness. 23. Portable Pencil Sharpener - John Lee Love – A carpenter clever with names for his inventions, calling this one the ‘Love Sharpener.’ 24. Potato Chips - George Crum – You have to love that his last name is Crum. 25. Reversible Baby Stroller - William Richardson – He’s also the reason wheels move separately. We feel certain there are fewer crying babies in the world because of this man. 26. Super Soaker - Lonnie G. Johnson – Being a NASA engineer is impressive, but we love him for invent-ing the Super Soaker! 27. Thermostat & Temperature Control - Frederick Jones – His refrigeration equipment made it possible to transport blood and food during World War II. 28. Touch-Tone Telephone - Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson – And that’s not the only way Dr. Jackson made our telecommunications lives easier Along with being the first African American woman to earn a PhD from MIT, she gave us the portable fax machine, caller ID, call waiting, and the fiber-optic cable. 29. Traffic Light - Garrett Morgan – Three cheers for the red, green and yellow. Mostly for the green!
