Since February is Black History Month, I am highlighting Black Folk who have and who continue to breakdown barriers in the technology field.

So have you ever heard of Lewis H. Latimer?  "He is considered one of the 10 most important Black inventors of all time."  He invented the technology that allowed light bulbs to last longer. You have him to thank for lights in your house and on your street.

Also please read this written tribute about Mr. Latimer and a call for more support for minority entrepreneurs by U.S. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts.

Happy President's Day!!!
