Book Description
Did you know your cellphone was invented by an African American? What about the doorknob, mailbox, or the home security system? Through the book, you will learn along with Mr. Kentrell's class just how African American women and men contributed to the world we live in. Imagine Life Without African American Inventors is a beautifully illustrated children's book about inventions that has become the fabric of our everyday lives. Children will learn that some things that we may take for granted - from the components in a cell phone, streetlights, mailbox, hairbrush, potato chips, ironing board to the home security system - were created by African American men and women. As Michelle and Mr. Kentrell's class learn about these inventors, they are asked to image life without African Americans.
