Today's Black American (Freedmen) inventor is Dr. Betty Harris. Dr. Harris invented a spot test to identify high explosives, specifically TATB, often used with nuclear weapons and in military applications. This test is still used to this day by the Department of Homeland Security, various military branches, and in forensic laboratories. #BlackHistoryMonth
It’s perfect. Jaafar Jackson gives the performance to beat for the rest of the year. I can’t say enough about it. The voice, the dancing, the heart & soul are all there & it was magic. Entire theater was singing & dancing the whole way through. The ultimate love letter to Michael fans. This is the movie we wanted.
Can’t help but notice that the negative press, trolls, and tabloids are desperately ramping up their BS stories and lies about my uncle to try and sabotage all the positive publicity the “Michael”Movie is getting around the world.
Please don’t contribute to their failing agenda. Don’t help them or their algorithm by clicking or reposting their lies.
Today's Black American (Freedmen) is Dorothy McFadden Hoover. As an aeronautical research scientist, she revolutionized the physics of flight. While working for NASA, she provided the sophisticated mathematical equations required to stabilize swept-back wings at supersonic speeds.
In 1951, she co-authored a landmark research report with Robert T. Jones on thin, tapered wings, a breakthrough that solved critical lift distribution issues. Her mathematical contributions are still embedded in the design of nearly every modern commercial jet, fighter plane, and spacecraft in the sky today.
No longer a "hidden" figure. #BlackHistoryMonth
Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23
She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24

Today's Black American (Freedmen) inventor is Gerald "Jerry" Lawson. Gerald "Jerry" Lawson influenced game systems like the Playstation, X-Box, and Nintendo. He invented the first video game system, Channel F, that allowed for interchangeable cartridges where you could take a game out and put in another.
Another cool fact is that his video game system was the first home system to use the pause button.

Today's Black American (Freedmen) inventor is Elijah McCoy. McCoy was born in Canada to Black American (#Freedmen) parents who moved back to America when he was a child. Elijah McCoy invented an automatic lubricating device for trains. Prior to his invention, trains had to be stopped, and the engines had to be lubricated manually. This was time-consuming and unreliable. His automatic lubrication device made it so trains no longer had to stop for lubrication. This made travel much faster and more efficient.
His invention eventually spread to ships, drilling, and mining as this was the Second Industrial Revolution where mass production was extremely important. It was adopted all around the world. Today, automated lubrication is a feature in all engines from planes to cars, and it all started with Elijah McCoy's invention that did it first. #BlackHistoryMonth
Yall gotta help me understand this one.
This beautiful Black girl names DaCara Thompson was brutally raped and murdered and thrown off a bridge by an illegal alien from Guatemala.
Not one muthafuckin word from Black Lives Matter.
Not one muthafuckin word from Jasmine Crockett.
Not one muthafuckin word from Joy Reid.
Not one muthafuckin word from the NAACP.
Not one muthafuckin word from THE VIEW.
And not one muthafuckin word from all yall white KUMBAYA liberals.
But yall can cry over a muthafuckin terrorist getting shot for tryna run ove an ICE agent?
OH HELL NO!
DaCara Thompson was 19 years old.
If she voted last year she definitely voted for Kamala Harris.
The same Kamala Harris who was the muthafuckin border czar that let her murderer into the country!
So yall I need to know: WHERE THE FUCK YALL AT WHEN BLACK WOMEN ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED BY ILLEGALS?
This shit aint right.
