Henry Blair was born in Glen Ross, Maryland, in 1807. Blair was an African American farmer who patented two devices designed to help boost agricultural productivity. In so doing, he became the second African American to receive a United States patent. Little is known about Blair's personal life or family background. It is clear that Blair was a farmer who invented new devices to assist in the planting and harvesting of crops. Although he came of age before the Emancipation Proclamation, Blair was apparently not enslaved and operated an independent business. A successful farmer, Blair patented two inventions that helped him to boost his productivity. He received his first patent — for a corn planter — on October 14, 1834. The planter resembled a wheelbarrow, with a compartment to hold the seed and rakes dragging behind to cover them. This device enabled farmers to plant their crops more efficiently and enable a greater total yield. Blair signed the patent with an "X," Blair obtained his second patent, for a cotton planter, on August 31, 1836. This invention functioned by splitting the ground with two shovel-like blades that were pulled along by a horse or other draft animal. A wheel-driven cylinder behind the blades deposited seed into the freshly plowed ground. The design helped to promote weed control while distributing seeds quickly and evenly. In claiming credit for his two inventions, Henry Blair became only the second African American to hold a United States patent. While Blair appears to have been a free man. In 1871, after the Civil War, the law was revised to grant all American men, regardless of race, the right to patent their inventions. Blair's invention crossed the racial gulf to feed all Americans, and his inventions are a demonstration that innovation lives in the human spirit. Henry Blair changed the agricultural landscape by showing us through the power of invention that we are all threads in the fabric of America

lexander Miles (May 18, 1838 – May 7, 1918) was an African-American inventor best known for being awarded a patent for an automatically opening and closing elevator doors. He was awarded the patent, U.S. Patent 371,207, on October 11, 1887.
Before automatic doors, people had to manually shut both the shaft and elevator doors before riding. Forgetting to do so led to multiple accidents as people fell down elevator shafts. When the daughter of African-American inventor Alexander Miles almost fatally fell down the shaft, he took it upon himself to develop a solution. In 1887 he took out a patent for a mechanism that automatically opens and closes elevator shaft doors and his designs are largely reflected in elevators used today.
He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2007.

Judy Reed: Follow Me

Judy Woodford Reed’s birth was commemorated around the year 1826.

Reed was one of the few African American women known for her prolific invention throughout the 1880s. There are tons of attributes that are not notorious regarding Reed. She primarily showed up at the 1870 Federal Census as a 44-year-old sempstress. This took place at Fredericksville Parish next to Charlottesville, Virginia which is in Albemarle County.

Reed was with her spouse, Allen Reed, and the horticulturist as well as her five kids. Once ten years went by, Mr. and Mrs. Reed stayed in Virginia to be with their grandchild.

In mid-1880 and 1885, Mr. Reed passed away. Mrs. Reed labeled herself as “widow of Allen” after her husband’s death. She relocated to Washington D.C. upon the place she lived alongside by her kids at 1906 K Street, N. W. The sole recognized history which Mrs. Reed had was the US patent-of-invention. Mrs. Reed was deemed to be the first African American female to acquire a patent.

On September 23, 1884, Reeds Patent No. 305,474 for a “Dough Kneader and Roller” was endowed.

The patent-of-invention was there to ameliorate the construction upon an existent rolling pin. This is for the flour to blend extra smoothly when it remains concealed and secured. Regarding if Mrs. Reeds had the capability of reading, writing, or printing her name on the patent as an “X” was not known.

An African American female that was at a prior term had the likelihood to obtain patent-of-invention entitlement.

Although there was a chance to acquire patent authority, this remains obscured because there are no obligations to signify ethnicity. In addition, females frequently applied just the initial letter so they can conceal their sex. Being intellectual was against the law at the time. Anyone who was caught reading, writing, or providing education was likely to face severe punishment or the death penalty. In 1905, Mrs. Reed passed away.

Dr. Joseph N. Jackson is one of the most famous Black inventors in America. Born in 1937 in Harvey, “Jefferson Parish,” Louisiana. Not far from New Orleans. In his formative years in school, the textbooks were 12 years behind the all-white schools in Jefferson Parish. He recounts that the textbooks were old, used, and 10 to 12 years old. This meant the information he was receiving was a decade or more old. In an interview, he remembers singing the negative Jim Crow indoctrination songs of the South like little black sambo and old black joe. They were relegated to enduring these songs every morning. Jackson wants the American social sphere to give everyone a chance to fulfill their highest potential. When he was 17, he worked for a lady who taught him how to type and requisition invoices. These skills would serve him well later in life. Unfortunately, he dropped out of school in the 7th grade. Jackson joined the United States Army at the age of 18. He received his G E D while in the army, which sparked his academic journey. After getting his G E D he qualified to be assigned to radio school. This assignment would shape the course of technological history for mankind. His fascination with electronics started at age 5. In the home he grew up in, there was a large radio that he wandered where the little people that inhabited the radio lived. In his mind, he was determined to find the little people so one day he took the radio apart. Accidentally, he damaged the speaker. Once his father came home, he discovered what he had done to the radio he was punished but his that explained how a radio had electronic waves that transmitted to a receiver in the radio. This early lesson from his father remained with him until he got to radio and T V school. While in Station at Fort Bragg North Carolina, Doctor Jackson started a part time business of radio and T V repair. For the next 8 years he gained advanced experience from working on devices. This experience and his curiosity that was fostered at age 5 coalesced into theories he had to tested until there was a success using the same radio signal technology of transmitter and receiver he developed the first working model of a remote control for a television. In 1975, Jackson completed his degree in Business Administration from Columbia College, Columbia, MO. He holds a doctorate in Applied Science and Technology from Glendale University in Santa Fe, NM. Dr, Jackson experience led him to create the precursor of the V-Chip, a technology that is used in the television industry to block out violent and objectionable programs that could be seen by young children. Aside from the Programmable Television Receiver Controllers, Jackson is the holder of at least six issued U.S. Patents in the area of telecommunications and Fertility Prediction Devices for females, as well as several copyrights, trademarks, and Pending Patents in the area of Aircraft Security and Tracking Systems. He was called upon by the network television industry to testify before the House of Representatives and several Senators regarding technical solutions to television violence years ago. Today we know Dr Jackson as a living legend, inventor, scientist, businessperson, humanitarian and Co-founder of the Black Inventions Museum, Inc. Never give up, success requires tenacity, resilience, courage, and a belief in yourself are all the ingredients needed to be thread in the fabric of America. Doctor Joseph N. Jackson, embodies what encompass Us to change to world for all mankind.

Bass Reeves was born a slave in 1838 in Crawford County, Arkansas. Under the ownership of farmer and politician William Reeves, Bass Reeves worked alongside his parents and was a water boy until he became old enough to work as a field hand. William Reeves moved his farming operations, including his slaves, to Grayson County, Texas around 1846. Bass Reeves was known for his tall stature, good manners, and sense of humor, and it was in Texas that these characteristics caught the attention of his master’s son, George. George Reeves eventually chose Bass to become his bodyguard and valet, and the two became rather loyal companions. When Texas sided with the Confederacy, George Reeves joined the Confederate Army and Bass went along with him. 
It was during the Civil War that Bass and George Reeves parted ways—and many speculate the reasons for their parting. Some legends say that the two got into a heated dispute over a card game, others say that Bass overheard talk of “freeing slaves” and just ran away. Whatever the circumstance, Bass Reeves ended up in what was then called “Indian Territory,” in present-day Oklahoma. He took refuge with members of the Seminole, Cherokee, and Creek nations, learning their languages, customs, and tracking skills which served him well during his later law enforcement career. It was during this time that he also honed his skills with a pistol, and while he humbly claimed throughout his life that he was only a “fair” shot, he was regularly barred from turkey shooting competitions in the territory. 
In 1863, Bass Reeves was ultimately freed from his life as a slave and a fugitive by the Emancipation Proclamation. He left “Indian Territory” and bought land near Van Buren, Arkansas, which he used to successfully farm and ranch. He married Nellie Jennie, a woman from Texas, in 1864, and they had 10 children. In addition to farming and ranching, Reeves occasionally worked as a scout and guide for U.S. Deputy Marshals entering “Indian Territory” on business of the Van Buren Federal Court. 
Reeves officially began his law enforcement career in 1875 after the Federal Western District Court was moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas. He was hired as a deputy by Judge Isaac C. Parker, who had been tasked by President Ulysses S. Grant to “clean up Indian Territory.” Reeves was one of the 200 deputies hired by Judge Parker in 1875, and he was the only one on record that stayed until Oklahoma achieved statehood in 1907.  
In his 32-year tenure as a U.S. Marshal, Reeves was known for his ruthlessness and his ability to catch outlaws that other deputies couldn’t. Reeves was reportedly involved in a number of shootouts, yet was never injured. He stated once that he had killed 14 men in self-defense, and at the time of his death a newspaper had reported the number was actually 20. By 1901 it was reported that he had arrested 3,000 men and women who had broken federal laws in the Indian Territory—one of which was his own son who was convicted in the murder of his wife. Reeves achieved all of this while also being illiterate due to his background as a former slave, so he would memorize the warrants and writs he served. The Indian Territory was notoriously the most dangerous for federal law enforcement officers in the Old West—records show that 120 lost their lives before Oklahoma achieved statehood in 1907.  
Bass Reeves himself escaped numerous assassination attempts as he was the most feared of federal officers in the Territory. Reeves retired from federal service upon Oklahoma’s statehood in 1907 at the age of 67, but his law enforcement career was not yet over. He went on to serve a city policeman in Muskogee, Oklahoma, for two years prior to his death in 1910. 

Born into the harsh realities of slavery in 1864, Charles Page’s journey was far from ordinary. His relentless determination led him to teach himself to read and write, a feat that set the foundation for his future inventions. Despite the societal and racial barriers of his time, Page’s ingenuity and perseverance shone through.

Fascinated with dragon flees Charles imaging a world where men could occupy the sky with creatures with wings. He shared his fascination with family and friends.  The more he contemplated the more his curiosity begin to materialize.

Page’s fascination with flight was not a fleeting interest but a deep-seated passion. He spent years observing the flight patterns of insects, fueling his ambition to replicate their aerial abilities. This fascination culminated in 1903 when he built a flying model of an airship. By 1904, using his life savings, Page created a full-scale model, hoping to showcase it at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis.

Despite the setbacks, Page’s achievements were formidable. He received a patent for his airship in April 1906, preceding the Wright Brothers’ patent. His contributions, while overlooked for decades, have slowly begun to garner the recognition they deserve. The city of Pineville, where Page lived and worked, has honored him with a historical marker, acknowledging his innovative spirit and his contributions to the community.

Page’s life was not solely defined by his aviation pursuits. He was a respected citizen, a timberman, and a farmer, who actively fostered ideas and started businesses to uplift the African-American community. His legacy extends beyond his inventions, encapsulating his role as a community leader and a visionary.

Today, Charles F. Page stands as a symbol of resilience and ingenuity, especially in the African-American community. His story, a testament to overcoming adversity and pursuing one’s dreams against all odds, serves as a powerful inspiration. The recognition of Page’s contributions is not just a correction of historical oversight but an important step in celebrating the diverse and rich history of innovation in the United States.

Charles Frederick Page’s story is more than a historical footnote; it’s a compelling narrative of determination, innovation, and resilience. As we continue to uncover and celebrate the contributions of African-American pioneers, Page’s legacy serves as a reminder of the vast, often untapped potential that lies within every individual, irrespective of their background. His life and achievements stand as a beacon of inspiration, encouraging us to look beyond conventional narratives and appreciate the diverse tapestry of history that shapes our world.

Shop for styles inspired by our Black Pride, our Black Lineage, & our Black Culture, and let the spirit of pioneers like Charles F. Page continue to inspire us in our everyday lives.

I am a self-taught scholarship strategist with over 20 years of experience. As a past full-ride scholarship

recipient and a dedicated parent, I have successfully helped my two sons secure over $75,000 in

scholarships.

Dubbed as The Inspirational Scholarship Coach, I passionately blend scholarship education with

essential life skills, an abundance mindset, spiritual principles, and the power of teamwork. Through my

role as the founder and CEO of Journey Changers Scholarship Solutions, I have been able to positively

impact the lives of countless students and families.

My journey began in high school when I aspired to become a computer programmer. Raised in a single-

parent household with limited resources, I relied on three core values instilled in me from a young age:

the importance of family, the willingness to support others, and trust in God. These principles became

my guiding lights.

I recall a challenging time in my life as a teenager when my siblings and I returned home from school to

find an eviction notice on our house and my mother was absent. As the oldest girl, I stepped up to take

care of my family, cooking meals and ensuring everyone was looked after. Hours turned into days, and

we were forced to separate, each finding support with a family member or friend. Throughout the rest of

my high school years, my mother was missing from our lives.

Despite the hardships, I refused to let my dream of pusuing college die. With no parental guidance or

family experience with higher education, I took it upon myself to navigate the college application

process. I taught myself which colleges to consider and how to apply. While I received acceptance letters,

I was faced with the financial burden of paying for my college education. My guidance counselor advised

me to complete a financial aid form and apply for scholarships, but provided no guidance beyond that.

So, I embarked on another journey, researching and applying for scholarships. By the grace of God, I was

ultimately awarded a full-ride scholarship to Norfolk State University.

Angela Hill

Inspirational Scholarship Coach

Upon returning to my hometown of Anderson, South Carolina after my college years, I became a parent

and faced the challenge of financing my own children's college education. Drawing upon my personal

experience, I shared my scholarship knowledge with my sons, empowering them to secure over $75,000

in scholarships. As their friends, church community, and relatives witnessed their success, they

approached me seeking guidance on how to pursue college through scholarships. That's when I realized

there was a larger community issue to address.

In response to the lack of awareness and understanding of how scholarships can make college

affordable, I founded Journey Changers Scholarship Solutions. My coaching program empower families

to maximize scholarship opportunities, reducing reliance on student loans. I integrate valuable life

skills, an abundance mindset, spiritual principles, and team-building. I am committed to helping

students and their families transform their lives through education, scholarships, and personal growth.

Together, we embark on a journey of unlocking limitless opportunities and building a brighter future,

Journey Changers Scholarship Solutions.

Mr. Alpha Male is written primarily to model the Alpha of all times, Christ Jesus, the Alpha and Omega. The Lord Jesus led me to write this book because the alpha male status is slowly declining in our men.  This is a book written by me as an adult to my younger male mentality. What I needed to know when I was growing up?  Who else is this book design for? The Christian father wanting to clearly articulate to their sons the purpose for living. The single mother who needs help rearing her son towards the idea of a Christian man for society. This book is for the Man who needs to find the Alpha that is within himself.  In this book I articulate my journey, failures plus learning lessons that help sculpt me towards the Alpha Man I am today. You also will see other great Alpha men, their failures and their successes that defines who they are today. You will definitely understand what an alpha male is and how to overcome the negative stigmas. We were made to lead and to represent the best of God’s children in the Earth. It is important to understand that the root of all goodness starts at God.  Because God is the architect of all, it is imperative that as men we must refocus back to our original Alpha status. Jesus made it possible for us to see that through the examples and principles following him. Upon completion, you will be able to replicate the same Alpha status as the Lord Jesus.  This book is one of a three book series. I believe you will have the tools to change your mentality to strive for excellence above and beyond your expectations. I believe you will never be the same again from the principles you are about to receive in this book.  May your life ever be changed by reading this book. May the Lord open your eyes to truth and Revelation that will change your life forever while you are reading.

God's Response to the Unloved The 29 Chapter of Gensis in the Holy Scriptures:

Dr. Butler Speaking at St Paul Baptist Church in Lexington, South Carolina.

Leah and Rachel were sisters who were married to the same man. It kind of difficult to tell one story without the other.

When Jacob arrived in the land of his uncle Laban, he fell in love with Rachel the moment he saw her.

Because he was broke and could not afford the bride price, he agreed to work for Laban for 7 years. Sadly, Laban tricked Jacob by sending in Leah for the honeymoon instead of Rachel.

It almost seems as if the wedding happened with Rachel as the bride but in the night, Leah was sent in instead.

Nobody would know the difference since in Hebrew weddings, the bride wore a heavy veil and the festivities would continue until dark.

Needless to say, Jacob was less than pleased about the trickery of his uncle. Leah was now stuck with Jacob.

The following week, Jacob married Rachel. Throughout the marriage, Leah had many children and suffered much.

Let’s get into the details of Leah’s ordeal and the lessons we can learn from her life.

There is a saying, or so we’ve heard, that God gives His greatest battles to His strongest warriors.
Although it’s not written out in scripture, it’s been proven a truth that almost every warrior can attest to. The women of Zeta Alpha Psi Sisterhood have definitely experienced firsthand God’s hand concerning their lives, dreams, and life’s battles and trials. In this collection of testimonies, one can literally feel the power of God through each story. Through each trial and through each victory, one thing is for sure.
Had these women not remained persistent, who knows the possible fate of their dreams, desires, and aspirations? However, because they fought the good fight of faith, and stood strong concerning the promises of God, the Power of Persistence will be another monument and testament to how God MOVES.

Part 2: Justice for Willie Leaphart: My Interview is with Mike Burgess is the Lead Teacher for the Center for Law and Global Policy Development at River Bluff High School in Lexington, South Carolina. The Center for Law and Global Policy Development is a two-year program housed at River Bluff High School that is available to all Junior and Seniors of the five high schools in Lexington County School District One. The program focuses on leadership development and policy creation in the areas of law, politics, and foreign affairs. In June 2022, Mr. Burgess will have completed his 27th year as a public high school history teacher in South Carolina. Mike Burgess and his family have attended St. Stephens since January 2011. He is married to his college sweetheart Chrystal and has four children- Caylee, Jackson, Manning, and Madelyn who all attend, or have attended, Lexington County School District One schools. The Burgess family has participated in a variety of programs in the church life of St. Stephens. Currently, Burgess serves on Church Council. A lifelong American Revolution historian and resident of South Carolina, Mr. Burgess received the 2022 South Carolina VFW High School Teacher of the Year Award at a banquet in February. In 2014, Burgess was the South Carolina Sons of the American Revolution Teacher of the Year. Mr. Burgess received his BA in History from the University of South Carolina in 1993 and his MAT from the same university in 1995.

LEXINGTON — On May 5, 1890, a Black teenager named Willie Leaphart sat in a Lexington County cell waiting on a new trial ordered by the governor after evidence surfaced proving his innocence in the attempted rape of a White girl.

But the 17-year-old never had a chance to win his exoneration. An angry mob of 100 burst into the Main Street jail and poured dozens of bullets into him.

Leaphart had just become the county’s first recorded lynching victim. Ten more would follow through 1921.

It’s a story that likely would remain obscured if not for the efforts of Michael Burgess, a River Bluff High School history teacher who began digging into Leaphart’s fate in March after a student asked whether the county had ever had a lynching.

Since then, he’s given lectures on Leaphart’s story to community organizations and helped co-found a group, the Lexington County Truth and Reconciliation Collaboration, dedicated to accurately chronicling the area’s racially complex history.

The group wants to see a marker erected at the site of Leaphart’s murder, and Burgess hopes to eventually win him a pardon.

Burgess envisions town hall-style talks, cultural events and other education functions in the county of 300,000 — South Carolina’s sixth largest — with Leaphart’s death a springboard.

In the tale of Leaphart, Burgess saw a timely symbol of Lexington’s need for reconciliation and honesty in a period of turmoil and upheaval.

“What happened on this site has completely disappeared. It’s just not talked about,” Burgess said steps from where Leaphart was shot. A historical marker nearby describes the history and construction of the courthouse grounds.

“It’s hard to build a diverse, tolerant community when you haven’t engaged in the reality of the past. We’re losing the roots of our story,” Burgess said. “This community has ignored this and other pieces of history and there are still racial issues in Lexington, and the ability to begin to address those begins with accountability of the past.”
