Brooklyn, NY - Black Inventors, Crafting Over 200 Years of Success, clearly outlines Black inventors from over seventy countries. The author Keith C. Holmes has spent some twenty years researching information on inventions by Black people from such places as Belize, Canada, France, Germany, Ghana, Haiti, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago to name a few. This book points out a number of the inventions, patents and labor saving devices developed by Black inventors. Africans before the period of enslavement developed a number of inventions: agricultural tools, building materials, medicinal herbs, cloths, and weapons are just a few examples. Though many Black people were brought to Canada, Caribbean, Central and South America and the United States in chains under the yoke of slavery, it is relatively unknown that many of them developed labor saving devices and inventions that created companies, generated money and jobs. This is one of the first books to address the diversity of the Black inventors and their inventions from a global perspective. ---------- TORONTO - the unofficial results from the three competitions that took place during the Scotiabank Caribana™ Festival 2008 for the week ending Saturday, August 2nd, 2008.
