Favorite Black Inventor
- Benjamin Banneker, America's First Black Man of Science and A Man of Many Firsts, is America's most unsung hero. He engineered America's first all American made striking clock. This clock struck every hour, on the hour, for over 50 years when it was destroyed in the fire set to his home during his funeral. However, it is a well established fact that some of the articles from his home were removed prior to being set ablaze by the saboteurs who set it afire.

- Regarding the contribution of how blacks had given the arts science inventions etc,we need not to use it in the competion game that,in to know that we are instruments of Almighty God just as any other race was used for his purpose. Of what was bought down from heaven,for the better of man,we need to understand,from his viewpoint,the why, other than the what. These strives and jealousy and the like should not be,we are not the paton of the these ideas but the instruments in bring them forth.

Who are WE
- Adolf Hitler said the great mass of people...will more easily fall victim to a big lie than a small one. What luck for rulers that men do not think. A truth's initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was beleived. It wasn't the world beig round that agitated people but that the world wasn't flay. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic....Dresden James. We are not African American that is for sure. We are the Hebrews Yah's chosen people. We have more history then any nation on earth.

Son of Loys S. Boone
- My favorite inventor is Loys S. Boone, my father who invented and patented an air compressor for an automobile on August 16,1938. The patent number is 2,172,152. (serial number 166,672) At that time we lived in Hugheston West Virginia. I remember seeing the patent as a child, yet I have never seen my father mention as a black inventor.

The BEST; George Washington Carver
- While there are many African-Americans who have made substantial contributions to our society I belive the absolute best has to be George Washington Carver. His advanced thinking has allowed mankind (of any race) to provide food for their family and he has taught so many people a better way to care for their land to keep it productive. My grandfather used many of the methods taught by Mr. Carver during his days as a farmer and I continue to follow his methods in my own meager garden. To me, the work of this awesome man is, without a doubt, the most important contribution of any man, of any race, to the United States of America. Indeed, to the world.
