| C.R. Gibbs, noted historian, author and lecturer, recently completed a new book entitled "Black Inventors: From Africa to America - Two Million Years of Invention and Innovation" published by Three Dimensional Publishing Company, Silver Spring, Maryland |
||||
|
"...A fine and important work... With dedicated, careful, prodigious research into rare sources, this fascinating volume unveils many surprises among its stunning array of men and women of African descent who for two million years have contributed to every imaginable facet of the inventive process. Crammed with key patent drawings and photographs, C.R. Gibbs' book should be in every home and library and on every teacher's desk."
Professor William Loren Katz, New York University
"Bookstore browsers who bypass this title for whatever reason miss an excellent opportunity to gain full knowledge of the inventiveness of humankind from ancient to modern times... Gibbs actually has exquisitely woven together several important topics, each of which is key to a complete understanding of the context of the book. The topics are: human evolution, the technological development of civilization, the sociological context into which African American inventors found themselves thrust, and the legal and political milieu which alternately helped and hindered black inventors over time... Gibbs' objective work provides a framework over which can be stretched an incredibly rich fabric of African American ingenuity and invention... it is an empirical study of the foundation of the development and uses of technology and human culture. Its focus on the position of Africans and African Americans fills out what has previously been incomplete work in this area of study..." Derrick H. Pitts |

Contributions by black inventors from Brazil and Russia are included, and the book presents a separate chapter with patent drawings on black women inventors in the United States.
