Thanks Grant. I just read about him on wikipedia and http://emeagwali.com/garrett-morgan/. He was also black (both his parents were born slaves), his inventions were many, and he was real hero! One of his inventions was a "belt fastener for sewing machines". Love to see what that was. Wasn't described in either site, but the second one says he had a lot to do with sewing machines and ran a clothing/tailoring company.
Unsurprisingly, he was listed in a book on 100 greatest Americans.
What was the something you watched Grant? I (and I'm sure others) would like to see it.
