Before there was Sesame Street or Sesame Place, there was Coney Island, “Granville's Island”! Granville T. Woods Known as the “Black Thomas Edison” was an engineer who invented and patented the electric roller coaster, which he introduced in the summer of 1909 at Coney Island. He developed dozens of innovative mass transit improvements. ****** Join David Head Edison sued Woods charging that he (Edison) was the first to invent the multiplex telegraph. After a costly court battle, Woods won the case. But even after losing to Woods, Edison remained so impressed with him that he offered the Black genius a partnership in one of his companies Woods was inducted into the Coney Island Hall of Fame, and an adjacent street was renamed Granville T.

Today is the 165th birthday of the inventor Granville T. Woods. It is most likely that you needed something today that was based off of his inventions. All I have to do is mention third rail and those of you that know, know. Thomas Edison sued him for patent infringement and lost (so maybe Edison should be known as White Granville T. Woods?). The world is a better place because he was in it and still feels the loss that he has left.

The Gist of Freedom Preserving American History through Black Literature . . .
David Head, Granville T. Woods Historian joins The Gist of Freedom with host Preston Washington! David will discuss the book Black Abolitionists and Emigrationists. Granville T. Woods Woods' most important invention was the multiplex telegraph, also known as the "induction telegraph," or block system, in 1887?. The device allowed men to communicate by voice over telegraph wires, ultimately helping to speed up important communications and, subsequently, preventing crucial errors such as train accidents. Woods defeated Thomas Edison's lawsuit that challenged his patent, and turned down Edison's offer to make him a partner. Thereafter, Woods was often known as "Black Edison." After receiving the patent for the multiplex telegraph, Woods reorganized his Cincinnati company as the Woods Electric Co. In 1890, he moved his own research operations to New York City, where he was joined by a brother, Lyates Woods, who also had several inventions of his own.
Crispus Attucks~ 4th of July Independence Day Tribute! The Gist of Freedom is pleased to present Another Side Of The Story by Eugene Gordon, 1920. Please feel free to download the script and share it! Crispus Attucks, a black man, was the first person killed in Boston. When tensions between British soldiers and an angry crowd resulted in the death of five people. March 5, 1770 was initially called the day of the Boston Massacre but the name was soon changed to Crispus Attucks Day. Crispus Attucks Day remained the chief American anniversary until independence was won and it was replaced by July 4. John Adams, our second president, called March 5, 1770 the most important event in American history. On October 13, 1888 a monument was erected on Boston Common called the Crispus Attucks Memorial. Listen to the Reading of a vintage Script ~ Crispus Attucks (1723? - March 5, 1770) was the first American to die for the Revolutionary cause: "The first to defy, the first to die."

Mr. Salifu will discuss Black inventors of the past and present, such as Dr. Patricia Bath, M.D., the inventor of the cataract Laserphacoprobe, which is the medical instrument to remove cataracts from the eye and Granville T.
