Many African American Inventors are often overlooked in history. It is important to recognize the people who have made an everlasting impact in the world with their inventions. In this class, students will learn about some of the things we use in our daily lives that were created/improved by African Americans. Students will learn about Mary Van Brittan Brown, Sarah E. Goode, Frederick McKinley Jones, Madam CJ Walker, and Dr. Charles Drew. I will talk about the inventors life, their inventions and how they made life easier for people. Students will also learn how patent laws and discrimination excluded/overlooked black inventors. We will discuss why it is important to acknowledge the African American inventors who played a very important role in 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.
