Thank God For...

This book is a brief introduction to the world of the works of African Americans. Our youth need to know all the wonderful things our people have accomplished and received patents from the United States of America. This book was written to give young children, in a simple form, information about who made the ironing board, the filament that went in the light bulb, and the person of color who invented the refrigerated truck. Do you know who combined the chemicals for process cleaning (dry cleaning)? Can you tell your children that George Washington Carver made over three hundred products from peanuts and vegetables? How many did he patent? This book has female inventors as well as male inventors. It speaks of more great and wonderful inventions and interventions by African Americans that we were not privileged to hear about. This book does not encompass all the information about the works still being used today, but it is intended to encourage parents and teachers to delve deeper into the historical facts as recorded by many members of the African American community. This book is intended to let the world know about the intellectual ability, dedication, and work ethics of the African American community that they brought with them from Africa. Thank God for the inspiration to write this book, and hopefully it will accomplish its purpose.
