Man listen you KNOW as I uncover our hidden history, Im finding out..
most of us have zero idea how much shit WE INVENTED
and was stolen by lessor men!!!
From Land, to Resource, To Culture, to Inventions.
No other People Alive has been ripped off..
by lessor men like The Chose People...
Aka Eumelanated People of the Globe!!
So true! When we are able to free our mind of the "day to day" BS that we have to deal with and, are able to focus we are very capable of being creative. I was trying to encourage one of my friends to write screenplays or teleplays (he loves film) and was using Lewis Latimer as an example
(Latimer worked for others but did not reap the benefits that they did). Lewis Latimer is created for developing the filament used in today's light bulbs (of course Thomas Edison gets all the credit, which could be a discussion for another day).
However, I am not sure that many people know that Lewis Latimer also drafted the patent for Alexander Graham Bell's telephone.

Inventions and technical work
In 1874, Latimer co-patented (with Charles M. Brown) an improved toilet system for railroad cars called the Water Closet for Railroad Cars (U.S. Patent 147,363).
[8]
In 1876,
Alexander Graham Bell employed Latimer, then a draftsman at Bell's patent law firm, to draft the necessary drawings required to receive a patent for Bell's telephone.
[9]
In 1879, he moved to
Bridgeport, Connecticut, and was hired as assistant manager and draftsman for the U.S. Electric Lighting Company, a company owned by
Hiram Maxim, a rival of
Thomas A. Edison.
[5] While Latimer was there he invented a modification to the process for making carbon filaments which aimed to reduce breakages during the carbonization process. This modification consisted of placing filament blanks inside a cardboard envelope during carbonization.
[10] While in England on behalf of the Maxim light company he taught the entire process for making Maxim lights, including glassblowing in 9 months in order to get the factory up and running.
[4]
In 1884, he was invited to work with
Thomas Edison. Along with the work he did with Edison, he was also responsible for translating data into German and French, as well as gathering that information.
[5]
Latimer also developed a forerunner of the air conditioner called "Apparatus for cooling and disinfecting".
[11]
In 1894, Latimer pursued a patent on a safety elevator which prevented the riders from falling out and into the shaft.
[12]
In 1924, after the Board of Patent Control dissolved Latimer went on to work with Hammer and Schwartz until he retired.
