Why don't they teach us history in schools?

Edison must've been a dog faced pony soldier.

Also we are apparently not teaching history in history classes. Who knew?
I predict Edison will be the next white guy to get cancelled by the far left.

He's referring to Lewis Latimer, who certainly did NOT invent the light bulb
He improved the lightbulb didn't invent it
That's like saying Steve Jobs invented the telephone by improving it.

The light bulb itself was invented by Thomas Edison, but the innovation used to create longer-lasting light bulbs with a carbon filament came from African-American inventor Lewis Latimer. Latimer, the son of runaway slaves, began work in a patent law firm after serving in the military for the Union during the Civil War. He was recognized for his talent drafting patents and was promoted to head draftsman, where he co-invented an improved bathroom for railroad trains.
His successes would garner him further attention from the the U.S. Electric Lighting Company, putting him at a company in direct competition with Edison, in 1880. While there, Latimer patented a new filament for the light bulb, using carbon instead of more incendiary materials, like bamboo, that were commonly used for filaments. The addition of the carbon filament increased the life span and practicality of light bulbs, which had previously died after just a few days. In 1884, he went on to work with Edison at the Edison Electric Light Company.

Biden will probably show up at his next event dressed like a Zulu warrior.

I mean, it’s possible. Edison is one of the greatest scam artists in world history.

Plenty of black people that invented some really important stuff... it looks like his handlers would learn to Google better... or write it down better for him...

Tesla wasn't black either.
