A little bit of his Biography

Lewis Latimer was a African-American inventor and patent-expert that taught himself mechanical
drawing; eventually becoming a chief draftsman, patent expert, and inventor. Born on September 4th,
1848 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. Latimer's design produced a carbon filament that was more durable and
longer lasting than earlier filaments. As a result, incandescent light bulbs became affordable to more
consumers.
Latimer also fought in the civil war in the union navy. Working with Thomas (Alva) Edison on the
effectiveness of a lightbulb and many other things of that nature. Being one of the first men to work in the
air conditioning field, Latimer developed and received a patent for the forerunner of the air conditioner in

Quote from George Washington Carver : “Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods
before sunrise. Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. When you do the common things in
life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world. It is simply service that measures
success.”
