Black Inventions Claimed By Mzungus

Throughout history, inventions have fueled progress, transforming societies and shaping the world as we know it.
However, not all stories of innovation have been treated equally. There’s a side of history that often goes untold, a side where inventions created by Black minds were unfairly stolen, suppressed, or overshadowed by an environment fueled by hatred, racism, and inequality.

This wasn’t just about stealing ideas; it was an attempt to rewrite history and undermine the incredible contributions of Black individuals. The patent system, designed to safeguard the rights of inventors, frequently worked against Black creators. Discrimination ran rampant, with many Black inventors being denied patents or having their contributions stolen. This unequal treatment further perpetuated the cycle of stolen recognition and opportunities.
