Summary: For Black History Month, we're dropping a classic episode into the feed as a bonus every few days... African American inventor and draftsman Lewis Latimer’s parents self-emancipated to give their children the opportunities afforded to those born into freedom. A Chelsea native, Latimer’s career took him from the Navy, to a patent law firm, to the prestigious circle of Thomas Edison’s pioneers. Original show notes: http://HUBhistory.com/120/
