January has come and gone and now February is here. February is very important because it’s Black History Month. In honor of BHM, I’ll be doing a challenge every week created by Kathryn Hall. The name of this challenge is #BlogBlHistory, which is the combination of Black History Month and blogs. Today’s challenge is to name 10 African American inventors and their inventions!

1. Madam CJ Walker- creator of African American hair care products
2. Marie Van Brittan Brown-  invented a precursor to the home TV security system
3. George Carruthers- created the ultraviolent camera/spectograph
4. Dr. Patricia Bath- invented the Laserphaco probe
5. Jan Ernst Matzeliger- invented an automated shoemaking machine that attached a shoe’s upper part to its sole
