    Thanks Benjamin Banneker, without you I would've been late for work today. But then I guess so would everybody else. Haha

    I love the fact that not only did African-Americans invent the fastest computer, they also touch my life with the fun Super Soaker and most importantly the potato chip! Hopefully you will keep adding to this list over time as I'm sure there are more than 16 great black inventors. Will check out your site.
