Thomas Edison experimented with thousands of materials for his light bulbs, but they kept burning out. It wasn’t until Lewis Latimer — a Black inventor and the son of formerly enslaved parents — introduced Edison to the carbon filament that Edison’s light bulb worked and it began illuminating the world. History books credit Edison, but the light bulb was the result of his collaboration with Lewis Latimer. That's not "DEI". That's the truth. #BlackHistoryMonth | James E. Clyburn
