Tavis Smiley is the famous name behind “THE BLACK HISTORY EXHIBIT” a powerful exhibit crossing 10 cities in America through April 2010. It is now in LA California at the California Science Center.
The commentary and reviews that I have read let me know three things;
1.) All visitors of this exhibit have been deeply moved by this exhibit.
2.) America has truly come a long way with race relations improving.
3.) Major contributions to scientific invention and medicine are MISSING IN THIS EXHIBIT.
Black people have contributed miracles in the area of science and medicine … look at the micro sample below and comment below on what you think.
· INTERNET (The father of the INTERNET) … Dr. Phillip Emearwali
· MICROPHONE (MODERN USED TODAY) … Dr. James West
· MICRO PROCESSING CHIP … Dr. Mark Dean
· TELEPHONE TRANSMITTER … Dr. Granville T Woods
· ELECTRIC RAILWAY SYSTEM (Subway Systems) … Dr. Granville T. Woods
· ELECTRIC MOTOR …. Dr. Granville T. Woods
· CHEMOTHEROPY … Dr. Jane C. Wright
· HEART SURGERY (1ST SUCCESSFUL) … Dr. Daniel H. Williams
· ELECTRIC LIGHT … Dr. Lewis Latimer
· REMOTE CONTROL (programmable and cable box) … Dr. Joseph N. Jackson http://inventorsconsultant.com/
· AIR CONDITIONING … Dr. Fredrick Jones
· HEATING FURNACE (vented distribution improvement) … Dr. Alice Parker
· And MUCH MORE … visit http://www.blackmiracles.com/
This barely touches the surface of what black people have contributed to the safety and comfort of America and the World through scientific invention and medical medicine / procedures / techniques.
These acknowledgements are inspirational, motivational, and unifying for all people.
We cannot allow this information to be overlooked or taken for granted.
We must highlight and show appreciation for intellectual contributions of our ancestors as well as our living achievers.
Imagine an American History Book and World History Book that is required by the public school system for all students to use to pass the history course for graduation that includes the intellectual contributions of African Americans and other groups now left out. I believe this will teach our children to be better people because it shows them that all people have the potential to contribute to all life ... regardless of our race.
The current instructional design of the American History Books used in public schools do not do that … they currently promote European intellectual superiority, rule and world domination as a benefit to the world.
