@ashleytheebarroness: Replying to @AnnieHey1 I went looking for how many inventions created by Black people were credited to somebody else. I thought there would be a number. There isn’t. Because apparently one very effective way to make Black inventors disappear from history is to never let their names enter the record in the first place. And then, generations later, everybody gets to wonder where they were. #inventors #blackexcellence #BlackHistory #historytok #fyp
