That list is highly inaccurate, and it left off what was probably the most significant invention ever by a black man.
Eli Whitney invented the modern mechanical cotton gin in 1793. Cotton gins in use today are still based off of his invention.
Eli's invention also help contribute to a surge of slavery in the south for the cotton industry, and the outbreak of the Civil War. But for some reason people dont like to discuss that.
