I said they either improved them or created them out right.
Alexander Miles improved the method of the opening and closing of elevator doors;

That reminds me of something. Is it my imagination or did MLK become some huge hero to the right after Obama was elected? It certainly seems like that.

No some of us on theright have a lot of respect for Martin Luther King Jr. Just like some on the left have a high respect for him also.
Not everybody on the right or the left like him.

The reception Black History Month is getting here on USMB this year is disheartening, to say the least. Leaving aside all the hating on history itself, I get the feeling many perceive some loss arising from this event. I cannot imagine WTF that could be, unless it's the fairy tale that being white all by itself makes you better than anyone else.

I agree, There is a lot of information on blacks that are not taught in schools even by todayÂ’s standards. Without this type of recognition blacks from the past would not get their well earned notoriety. That is if notoriety is the correct word to use.

If you want a real Black History Month focus on great accomplishments.
Fuck slavery.

They do focus on accomplishments during black history month, its not a whole month dedicated to slavery.

Slavery is also a part of their history. I am a self taught historian, I acknowledge the good along with the evil of human history.
