The Inventor's Early Life. The son of former slaves, Garrett A. Morgan was born in Paris, Kentucky on March 4, 1877. His early childhood was spent attending school and working on the family farm with his brothers and sisters. While still a teenager, he left Kentucky and moved north to Cincinnati, Ohio in search of opportunity.

I think that he was a very intelligent person caught up in a time when African Americans were unjustly subjected to harsh racism and lynchings, at the hands of the White populace. Segregation was the status quo, and he did what he thought was right in fighting against it. His actions were only a response to the harshness of the times during his life. He eventually realized that all men were brothers after his pilgrimage to Mecca, and moved closer to the philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr..

Here is a little something that is not available on wikipedia: He was an artist and loved to draw. He was great at picking locks. He studied at MIT and Princeton. He worked on the Manhattan Project and O-ring problem of the space rockets. He was one of the best physics teachers ever. He wrote a lot of books including Feynman Lectures on Physics, which was an edited form of his lectures for freshman and sophomore students at Caltech. He always wanted to be like Paul Dirac (and he did.) He hung up when they called to let him know that he was going to get the Nobel Prize on Physics because it was in the middle of the night. He wasn't gonna accept the Nobel, but he changed his mind when he heard about the money. He died in February 1988 because of cancer.

The quote is actually - "Genius is 1% Inspiration and 99% perspiration", and it was quoted by Thomas Alva Edison the most famous American Inventor who, singly or jointly, held a world record 1.093 patents. In addition, he created the world's first industrial research laboratory, 1847-1931.

I suppose you're talking about Martin Luther King JR.  He was a Baptist minister and activist who petitioned for equal rights for African Americans and other colored people.  He's probably most famous for his "I have a dream" speech which he gave on the Lincoln Memorial in front of thousands of African Americans.  He was assassinated on April 4th, 1968 at a hotel in Memphis.\n\nIf you're by some chance talking about Martin Luther King SR., he was also a civil right activist but I do not know much about him.

William and Maria Louisa Robeson in Princeton. In 1901 Rev. Robeson was forced to resign as Pastor of Princeton’s Witherspoon St. Presbyterian Church after 20 years for speaking out against social injustice in the community. At age 55, he must support his family by driving coaches and hauling ashes.\n\nIn 1904 Paul’s mother burns to death when her clothes catches fire over a coal stove. In 1910 the Rev. moves his family to Somerville where he becomes Pastor of St. Thomas A. M. E. Zion Church. There, young Paul begins to show his prodigious talent for scholarship, music, athletics and oratory. \n\nIn 1915, Paul becomes only the third African-American to attend Rutgers University after winning a 4-year scholarship in a statewide written competition. The giant “Robey” makes the football team despite the violent racism of his teammates, and becomes the teams star player. During his years at Rutgers, racism reared its head many times and in many ways; once, his coach was forced by Rutgers’ administrators to bench Robeson when Washington and Lee College refused to play against a black man. Nevertheless, he went on to make the All-American team in 1917 and 1918. He won 15 varsity letters in four sports– football, basketball, baseball and track. Off the field, he was skilled and won first prize in oratory in each of his four years at Rutgers. As valedictorian he received a standing ovation.\n\nThough he studied law, the opportunities for an African lawyer in the US was very limited. He quit for good when a white secretary refused to take his dictation. Robeson then took a career in the theatre. He debuted at the Sam Harris Theatre, but it was his role in "All God’s Chillun’s Got Wings", in which a white woman was to play the part of his wife, which caused a media uproar. He also took lead role in Emperor Jones, sings his first concert in Boston and stars in his first film "Body and Soul". Robeson becomes an icon, particularly in the black community.\n\nHowever, he was also very outspoken and voiced his frustration about the scarcity of roles for blacks; in spite of his fame, he was denied accommodation in hotels. His powerful singing of old “Negro Spirituals” and the song “Old Man River” awaken the consciousness in the African-American people. He uses his status to highlight racism in the US; Robeson toured Europe, he performed for the King of Spain. One of his more famous roles was Othello. \n\nHowever, he is still discriminated against because of his colour. Enraged by the treatment of Blacks, he begins to praise the values of communism. Robeson studies intensely communist and Africanist writings and eventually enrolls his son in a Soviet Model School, hoping to shield him from racial oppression. While in Egypt, he helped found the Council for African Affairs which promoted African self-rule. By 1941 Robeson supported black voter registrations in Birmingham, strikes in Detroit and refused to lay roles that stereotyped blacks. The FBI, suspecting him of being a member of the Communist Party, places him under surveillance. \n\nIn 1943, the FBI arrests him for suspected Communist ac

Something he invented.

He invented a "photophone", the predecessor to our fiber optics.  It was a way to transmit information, in the form of sound, over light. In addition, he invented a vacuum jacket that would eventually become the iron lung used in polio cases in the 50s.  He also pioneered into the area of desalinization, "alternative energies" and recycling.  He also invented the concept of metal detectors, using an inductive pickup coil.
