In this important study, former United States primary patent examiner Patricia Carter Sluby pays homage to the inventive spirit of African Americans.

Along with such recognizable figures as George Washington Carver and Madam C. J. Walker, readers will discover little-known or forgotten pioneers of devices such as a tobacco substitute, a home security system, and a portable heart monitor. Particular attention is given to the innovations of women inventors and scientists.

Sluby, Sr., C.G. extracted the information and provided an in-depth analysis of the historical and genealogical information therein.
