Black Inventor History: Protecting Our Legacies in the 21st Century
African-American scientists and inventors have been a mainstay in American history since the inception of this country. Black men like Benjamin Banneker, Lewis Latimer, and Percy Julian played pivotal roles in the advancement of technology and medicine in American History. Yet, in so many instances investigative searches for information on black inventors and scientist who contributed to American scientific developments is difficult to obtain and not sufficiently recorded in government and academic libraries. One way to protect the legacy of African American invention and scientific achievements is by the use of the modern day world wide web. By black scientist and inventors publishing (recording) their patents, articles, and publications on various web-based sites such information will be easily retrievable when the names and work of these inventors are searched. Distributing our research results, patents, articles, and publications throughout the world wide web will make it virtually impossible for our accomplishments and achievements to be lost, misplaced, or in some instances simply neglected which all too often occurs at government or academic institutions. I encourage all black scientist and inventors to follow suit such that our scientific achievements will not be lost in the annals of history and our legacies will not become a topic of academic debate in the 21st century.
