Hello Lincoln High, I’m Marcus McLaughlin from African American Caucus, and this is your black history month fact of the day. Lewis Latimer was an engineer in the late 19th and early 20th century. He worked with Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison to invent the telephone and the lightbulb respectively. He continued to work as a patent consultant and draftsman after working with those minds. Thank you from African American Caucus.
