In this video, we explore the groundbreaking contributions of African-American scientists who have transformed the world of technology. First, we learn about James West, the inventor of the electret microphone, whose 1960s innovation powers 90% of today’s audio devices, from smartphones to hearing aids. Next, we dive into the work of Mark Dean, an IBM engineer who developed the ISA systems bus, making PCs capable of connecting to peripherals like printers and modems, and later designed chips capable of a billion calculations per second. Finally, we celebrate Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge system, which revolutionized the gaming industry by introducing interchangeable cartridges. These trailblazers have left an indelible mark on technology, shaping the devices and systems we rely on every day.

  1. What exactly is an African-American, how can you be both? If you're born in America you're American, if you're born in Africa, you're African. If your ancestors were born in Africa, you're everybody.
