                                          • Love & Innovation: The Stories of Prominent Black Inventors

                                            In honor of Black History Month, I'm looking at the lives and inventions of several Black innovators beyond their groundbreaking contributions. Listen to learn about Albert and Marie Van Britten Brown, who co-created the first home security system; Samuel Scottron, an inventive barber turned social activist; Sarah Boone, an enslaved-born dressmaker who patented the modern ironing board; and George Washington Carver, a renowned agricultural scientist with a complex personal life.
