Excellent presentation (in clear English) of an almost forgotten Inventor! Thank you Ms. Gaylord 🤓🗽

We tend to think in terms of generalizations, so that when someone isn't the average, it is startling. There was nothing average about Mr. Latimer. I wonder what his wife was like. Wiki has interesting tidbits about their family. "Lewis H. Latimer married Mary Wilson Lewis on November 15, 1873, in Fall River, Massachusetts. Mary was born in Providence, Rhode Island, the daughter of Louisa M. and William Lewis.[6] The couple had two daughters, Emma Jeanette (1883-1978) and Louise Rebecca (1890-1963). Jeanette married Gerald Fitzherbert Norman, the first black person hired as a high school teacher in the New York City public school system,[7] and had two children: Winifred Latimer Norman (1914-2014), a social worker who served as the guardian of her grandfather's legacy, and Gerald Latimer Norman (1911-1990), who became an administrative law judge.

Went to see this house a couple of years ago. Small but interesting house. Glad to hear you talk about it.

the sentence "making the slave holders angry" feels me with glee. honestly, if you stole a human being in the first place, I think you should honour their freedom when they escape. no one is entitled to order around another human, and I'm glad so many people were able to leave their abusers. I only wish the slavers had more of a comeuppance than they got. Great series btw! I'm enjoying it immensely. As an Australian, this is a fascinating glimpse into a different culture.
