Post: Here's a man that was so smart that Thomas Edison tried to sue him for his work and still lost. And even then some people still refer to him as the Black Edison, which is actually disrespectful to his lazy. And let me tell you why, Granville Woods was born in Eighteen Fifty six and Columbus, Ohio. You had a limited education, but he was determined to master mechanical and electrical engineering. He worked in machine shops and had various industrial jobs. He. He also honed his craft through night classes and self study. This eventually led to him holding over fifty patents during his lifetime. One of his most profound inventions was a synchronous multiplex railway telegraph. He obtained a patent and Eighteen Eighty seven. This allowed transit communicate with other trains and their stations. It reduced collisions, significantly, enhanced rail safety. Thomas Edison was totally impressed, but TR tried to take this invention as his own. He took Woods to court and lost because Woods was just that smart, which kept his patent and his invention, a feat that was rare for a black man during this time. As the men gave Woods an offer to join his company, which Woods declined, which went on to make numerous impactful contributions to technology and transportation. He made it improved telephone transmitter, which he sold to Alexander Graham Bell's company. He developed the trailer which allowed streetcars to pull electricity from overhead wires, thus leading to these three cars being renamed trolleys. He developed the power pickup that laid the foundation for the third rail system and received patents for an improved airbrake system. He was subject to racial discrimination which minimizes ability to secure funding. It also minimized his due recognition. He persevered nonetheless and change the landscape of technology and transportation forever. He was not the black Edison. He was De Granville T. Woods Shah, believe inspire blacks be.
