Black Inventors...Extraordinary
Inventions!
if we continue to use foreign names we would continue to be lost , we would continue to be foreigners , we would continue to struggle to make ourselves known in the world. Lets try hard to discontinue this trend by choosing good root names for our children.

African Americans have made extraordinary
contributions throughout history. A key piece of LittleAfrica.com's mission is
to highlight some of those contributions and encourage our community to boldly
go after those things that represent a symbol of hope for future generations.
These inventors took advantage of their God-given talents to create products
that simplified the lives of people all over the world.
Many of you possess similar talent...
It is time for us to leverage
that talent, energy, and creativity to make a difference...
