First correction; Black history did not start from the cotton field, neither did it start from the slave ship. Beginning our history from there only instills self-hate and anger.\u00a0 Black history goes across seas to Africa , and beyond the name &#8220;Africa&#8221;. Africa was once called AlkeBulan, many of us are descendants of Kings and Queens, great warriors, scientist, inventors, scolars but all these are hidden from us.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Morgan invented the<strong> Traffic light : November 20, 1923,<br \/>\n<\/strong>M. A. Cherry\u00a0 invented the<strong> Tricycle : May 6, 1886<br \/>\n<\/strong>Burridge &amp; Marshman invented the<strong> Typewriter : April 7, 1885<br \/>\n<\/strong>Frederick M. Jones\u00a0invented the<strong> Thermostat Control : February 23, 1960<br \/>\n<\/strong>Edmond Berger\u00a0 invented the <strong>Spark Plug: February 2, 1839<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Who invented the <strong>Stove? (T. A. Carrington, July 25, 1876),<br \/>\nRefrigerator (J. Standard, June 14, 1891),<br \/>\nMotor\u00a0 (Frederick M. Jones, June 27, 1939),<br \/>\nMail box\u00a0 (Paul L. Downing , October 27, 1891)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No , not many of us know this, and it may even come as surprise for others to find out that the <em>elevator, the electric lampbulb, the clothes dryer,\u00a0 the air conditioning unit<\/em> were all from the hands of our great Black ancestors. Invention is not the only badge we carry, but a rich African culture which followed us to the Diaspora have also influenced lifestyles and cultures around the world; Be it fashion, music, dance, food, art, and even spirituality and medicine. It is important for our education system to incorporate and\/or elaborate further into these historical facts to inspire and empower the new generation of people( Black or White, Red or Blue) if there is a common goal of tearing down the walls of ignorance, stereotype, discrimination and racism. But it is more important for us Blacks to find ourselves and pride in ourselves.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6649\" src=\"https:\/\/orijinculture.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/Freedom-School-Students.jpg\" alt=\"Freedom-School-Students\" width=\"600\" height=\"487\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6650\" src=\"https:\/\/orijinculture.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/e3906601bf93b9af11964528ad708b97.jpg\" alt=\"Dr John H.
