PART 2 Many African American inventors have been overlooked in history, but it's crucial to recognize their everlasting impact on the world through their inventions. In this class, students will learn about the significant contributions of African Americans to our daily lives. We will explore the lives and inventions of remarkable individuals such as George Crum, Dr. Patricia Bath, Lonnie G. Johnson, Alice H. Parker, and Lyda Newman. Through engaging discussions, we will talk about their inventions and how they have improved the quality of life for people. Moreover, we will examine the challenges faced by black inventors due to discriminatory practices and patent laws that excluded them. By highlighting the importance of acknowledging African American inventors, we will shed light on their crucial role in shaping American history. This class will be very informative and it also connects to my other African American classes. This lesson will be interactive, and each student will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions. If you have any questions about the class or suggestions please send a message. This class could possibly go over 30 minutes, as I love to give all students the time speak if they chose to do so.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of North Florida
As an ESL Teacher and Tutor, I have taught classes on African American history, American Figures, Racism, and the civil rights movement for over 4 years. I have experience in teaching this subject to students in elementary, middle, and high school. I also have experience tutoring college students. I have a degree in Communications, so I will be able to communicate and teach this topic without being bias. I was able to research, write essays, and give speeches about this topic throughout college. I was trained by professionals to understand history and the issues surrounding history. Most importantly, I will allow each student to express their thoughts and opinions about this topic. This will help them communicate and show what they have learned. It is very important to include all students. I have taught African American history for 2 years. I studied communications in colleges which heavily focused on Afro and African American studies.
