Black History Month

Today's Significant Figure in Black History

Lewis Latimer

Throughout the month of February 94.3 WYBC is proud to celebrate the accomplishments of so many great people in Black History.

Today's Significant Figure in Black History is Lewis Latimer.

Lewis Latimer was a scientist and inventor who worked for Alexander Graham Bell, Hiram Maxim, and Thomas Edison. Latimer was the only black member of an exclusive social group, the Edison Pioneers. While Edison invented the incandescent bulb, it was Latimer who developed and patented the process for manufacturing carbon filaments.
