Black History Month is celebrated annually to acknowledge and remember the achievements and contributions of Black Americans. A few notable figures include Claudette Colvin, an activist who refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in 1955, before Rosa Parks, Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first Black woman to receive an M.D. in the U.S, John Taylor, the first African American to win gold in the Olympics in 1908 and Alice Coachman, the first Black woman in the world to win an Olympic gold medal while competing in the high jump in 1948. Black inventors have also made major contributions to our way of life, such as Lewis Howard Latimer, who invented the carbon filament for lightbulbs, Sara Boone, who invented the modern-day ironing board, Garret Morgan, who invented the three-position traffic signal, and Marie Van Brittan Brown, who invented the modern home security system.
