Book Documents Black Inventors Over 200+ Years of Success
 
BROOKLYN, N.Y.—Author Keith C. Holmes has crafted one of the first books which traces black inventions all over the world.
    It turns out that many inventions, patents and labor-saving devices were developed by black inventors, according to Holmes, who spent the past two decades cobbling together names of inventors in over 70 countries in his new book titled, Over 200 Years of Success.
   Black inventors came from such places as Belize, Canada, France, Germany, Ghana, Haiti, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago.
   Brought in chains to Canada, Caribbean, Central and South Americas and the United States, Africans created a number of inventions: agricultural tools, building materials, medicinal herbs, cloths, and weapons.
   In his new book, Holmes describes these labor-saving devices and inventions which have created companies that have generated money and jobs. This is one of the first books to globally address black inventors.
   In this book, early black American inventors come from all 51 states. In the United States there are now 16 African American men inducted in to the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
   The book gives the reader, researcher, librarian, student and teachers the materials needed to effectively understand the black inventor from a global perspective.
