Garrett Morgan invented an early gas mask called the Safety Hood in 1914. It was designed to protect people from smoke and toxic fumes. He famously used it in 1916 during a tunnel explosion rescue under Lake Erie, saving several workers’ lives. He also invented an early version of the traffic signal, helping improve road safety. . . . #BlackHistory #HiddenFigures #Inventors #STEMHistory #didyouknow

Garrett Morgan blazed a trail for Black inventors with his patents, including those for an improved traffic light and a breathing device that preceded the World War I gas mask. Learn more about his life and career at the link in our bio.🔗

Garrett Morgan is best known for the traffic signal and the gas mask, but he was also among the first to sell a commercial hair straightening cream in the early 1900s. It was not created to fix Black hair or push European beauty standards. It came from industrial chemistry, at a time when the long term effects were not fully understood. Today, many Black women are choosing to wear their hair natural as an act of self care. It supports scalp health, reduces chemical exposure, and honors the body as it naturally is.

BLACK HISTORY YOU DON’T HEAR ABOUT ENOUGH Before modern traffic lights… Before firefighter safety gear… A Black inventor quietly saved lives and changed everyday life. Garrett Morgan invented: The three-position traffic signal (the foundation of today’s stoplight) An early gas mask that saved workers and first responders A lifesaving rescue device used during a 1916 tunnel explosion Here’s the part they don’t teach much: When he used his gas mask to save trapped workers in a Cleveland tunnel, newspapers minimized his role, and recognition came years later, after his inventions were already saving lives worldwide. Black history isn’t just marches and speeches. It’s innovation, courage, and everyday brilliance that shaped how we live.
