One of my favorite poets is Emily Dickinson click on the link to see the poem.
There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

We have come this far to see the day
where nigros will be treated equally
Even if we die, our race will live on
We will never perish till this world is in peace
We will continue to fight until you understand our existence
Look forward to a bright future
Look forward to a change
See the day where our eyes face equality
This battle has just begun
let's do our best to make a change
This battle is far from over

Andrew Jackson Beard Black inventor.

Andrew Jackson Beard is a succesful black inventor in the railroad industry its rapid expansion throughout the country caused an alarming number of railmen suffered serious injuries. These injuries were found on the rail men arms and legs, the causes of these injuries came from rail road cars. During manual coupling of worker would have to attempt to precisely time the moment when two railroad cars being pushed together would be close enough for that worker to drop a metal pin between their connectors, thus engaging the cars. If the worker was off by one second he might be severely damage on his arms or legs.

November 27, 1897 Beard received a patent for a device he called the Jenny Coupler. Andrew Beard's Jenny CouplerThe Jenny Coupler automatically joined cars by simply allowing them to bump into each other, or as Beard described it the "horizontal jaws engage each other to connect the cars." Beard sold the rights to his invention for $50,000 and the railroad industry was revolutionized.
