This is a title in the Proud Heritage series. Following a discussion of the "history of the patent process and the law, the McKissacks provide an overview of African American inventors throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, including those who were free born and those who were slaves. Some of their innovations, such as those connected with the railroad and automobiles, are grouped together. Individual chapters are devoted to Lewis Latimer, Granville T.Woods, and Norbert Rillieux and Jan Matzeliger. Contributions of contemporary inventors are outlined as well. {Bibliography. Index.} Grades five to nine." (SLJ)
