BLACK ENGINEERING SINCE ANCIENT KEMET VIDEO... AT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkaG9LQ5ED0&feature=player_embedded
For more than 300 years, black inventors have served as pioneers in the field of science and have made enormous impacts on society. As African Americans sought freedom and equality, many among them, scientists, educators and even slaves, developed the tools and processes that helped to shape the modern agricultural, industrial and technological landscape. While some are famous, many remain unknown, but their contributions have assured that their stories are not only about black history, but about world history.
One more interesting bit of patent history, for Presidents Day, according to Wikipedia, the only President of the United States to hold a patent was Abraham Lincoln for a "device to buoy vessels over shoals"; it consisted of a set of retractable floats mounted on the sides of riverboats. Buoyah!

“STARABELLA” MISSION STATEMENT
The “Starabella” award-winning children's audio/picture book series consists of three fully narrated audio/picture books with music. All of the messages in the stories are reinforced through music. Music is a universal language that transcends all cultural and personal differences. “Starabella” is a family project, and a true labor of love.
I wrote the Starabella stories based on the childhood music and experiences of my daughter Tara, a self-taught pianist and composer who deals with autism. Tara wrote and performed on keyboard, 17 of the 22 original songs in the series. My daughter Dana composed additional music, narrates the stories and sang most of the songs. My husband Marvin and I published the series.
