H.H. Reynolds invented a ventilator that allowed air to flow into railroad cars and at the same time keep out dust and soot. This was due to the demand of passengers who wanted more air while riding the trains.
Reynolds spoke of his invention to his manager, who in turn created a working model.
The Pullman company tried to obtain patent rights for Reynolds' idea but Reynolds sued the company and won the right to profit from HIS invention!!
We have been brainwashed in this country to believe that EVERYTHING that exists-exists because a white man invented it, Edison is just one example. But the reality is there were are still are many great scientists and inventors in the Black community.
Research and get to know YOUR history folks, because what you see isn't always what IT IS!
