African American inventor, Joseph
Lee (1849 - 1905) invented new and useful improvements to the dough-kneading
machine (U.S. patent #524,042 8/7/1894). His machine was intended for use
in large houses or hotels. Lee also patented a machine for making bread crumbs (U.S. patent #540,553

Joseph Lee grew up in the food service
industry. He worked as a baker, cook, waiter, and hotel manager, to eventually
become the owner of two restaurants and his own catering service called
the Lee Catering Company. He sold the patent for his bread crumbling machine
to the Royal Worcester Bread Crumb Company of Boston.
