Although Willis Carrier is largely credited with inventing the modern air conditioner, Frederick Jones, an African-American, invented the first portable air conditioning unit. ... Jones had at least 60 patents on various inventions including refrigeration for food transport trucks. Jones’ portable air conditioning units were used in World War II to preserve food, medicine, and blood on the battlefield and in army hospitals. They were also used to keep wounded soldiers more comfortable while they were recuperating.

[Alice H. Parker was a Black inventor in the early 20th-century, best known for patenting a central heating system that uses natural gas. Her invention played a key role in the development of the heating systems we have in our homes today.
Little is known about Parker’s life or upbringing, most likely because women, especially women of color at the time, were not documented sufficiently. She was born in 1895 in Morristown, New Jersey, and later attended classes at Howard University in Washington, D.C. To receive a higher education as a Black woman at the time was an achievement in itself. ] Source Alice H. Parker | Lemelson

In 1957, Marlon Green, an Air Force pilot, applied to be a Continental Airlines pilot. Green had applied to other airlines but was rejected each time. When he filled out his application for Continental, he left the “race” box unchecked. Green made it to the final round of interviews but was not hired, even though he had more flight time than the other candidates who were white.
Green filed a complaint with the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Commission, a landmark case that ended up in the United States Supreme Court which ruled in Greens favor and helped dismantle racial discrimination in the American passenger airline industry.
While David Harris was the first Black pilot hired with a major airline, Marlon Green’s fight for the right to be in the flight deck cleared a path for generations of Black pilots to come. In 2010, Continental dedicated a 737 named for Captain Marlon Green. The aircraft, N77518, still flies for United today.
Thank you, Marlon Green for your contributions towards Black History and paving the way for many to follow [emoji3171][emoji3575][emoji3575]

Reality is not necessarily what is real. Reality is determined by what most people believe. What most people believe, especially these days, is determined but what mainstream media promote.
That's how the global majority is perceived as a minority. Because the perception of reality is manipulated and all these highly melanated people are hidden. We never hear about them. Most of the time we don't even know that they exist.
From North Africa to the northern countries, especially in the middle east, Asia, Australia and even america, there are hidden faces.
Usually they are the first inhabitants of these countries. The originals. Descendants of the builders of the most impressive civilizations of the world.
The hidden faces are the faces of the ancestors. The true owners.

Sources: King Tut Related to Half of European Men? Maybe Not
www.livescience.com
In 2011, a personal genomics company in Switzerland claimed to have reconstructed a DNA profile of King Tut by using data from a team who worked for a Discovery Channel documentary about King Tut.
They claimed that their results proved that more than half of West European men were related to the young Pharaoh, who was supposed to belong to the Y-DNA haplogroup R1b. This news made the News for months, until… the team of scientists who actually worked to decode the genome in the documentary intervened to say that these claims were "simply impossible".
They explained that the Swiss company never got in contact with them. So they could not claim such things.
It was a trick used by the Swiss company that wanted to better sell their DNA testing kit by using media attention.
By connecting their potential clients to the African King, they hoped that many European men would try to know if they belonged to half these European men who were linked to King Tut. Which would be economically beneficial to them.
One year later (2012), DNA tribes, another personal genomics company, decided to get in touch with the team of scientists who analyzed King tut’s body. �They successfully got the results and used it to do a geographical analysis of the mummies of King Tut and his relatives.
Their results stated that King Tut and his relatives were more related to the people of Africa, �especially those of the great lakes between central and East Africa.
Many years later, another DNA study, now on pharaoh Ramses III’s mummy conducted under the control of the Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass, proved that the last great pharaoh of Kemet belonged to the Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1a, which is mainly carried by Black African populations.
Even after all this new evidence, the damages caused by the lie spread by the Swiss company can still be observed today. Many people still believe that King Tut has anything to do with modern Europeans.

Remembering Gary Coleman, who was bornin this day.
(Feb. 8, 1968 – May 28, 2010) He was an actor and comedian, most known for playing the role of Arnold Jackson in the sitcom Diff'rent Strokes (1978–1986), which he reprised in numerous other television series such as Hello, Larry (1979), The Facts of Life (1979–1980) and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1996), among others.
Coleman is regarded as one of the greatest child actors of all time, and was the highest-paid adolescent on television throughout the late 1970s and 1980s. He was rated first on a list of VH1's "100 Greatest Kid Stars". Gary would have been 54 today.

The little girl at far right in this photo, taken circa 1920, grew up to become the first African-American to serve as Montana State Librarian. A native of Lewistown, Montana, Alma Smith Jacobs had a huge impact on Montana libraries in her lifetime, and was a civil rights leader in her home state. #BlackHistoryMonth [Smith family, Spring Creek near Lewistown, Montana].

In a nutshell...
[ In 1954 the Bradens became involved in helping Andrew Wade, an electrician, in buying a house. "Carl and I were both part of a statewide committee to repeal the Kentucky school segregation law. We were also involved in trying to break down discrimination in hospitals. In the spring of 1954, a Black friend, Andrew Wade, asked us if we would buy a house and transfer it to him. He and his wife had one child, two and a half years old, and another on the way. They were crowded into a small apartment and were anxious to move out of the city. Andrew had tried, but as soon as sellers found out he was Black, he wouldn't get the house. He decided the only way left was to have a white person buy it for him. Before he came to us, he had asked several others. For one reason or another, they refused. But we felt he had a right to a new house and never thought twice about doing it."] Braden bought the house for the Wade's, and from thereon terror and chaos began...Continue reading here---> Carl Braden
