March 30, 2010 -- From Mark, a reader, from Washington, DC, who is affiliated with the site.
Hello:
As we approach Black History Month I was wondering if you would consider adding a link to the Black Inventor Online Museum (blackinventor.com). The site profiles more than 60 Black inventors and their contributions to society over the last 300 years.
Thank you,

The Black Inventor Online Museum provides a look at the great and often unrecognized leaders in the field of invention and innovation. 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.
