Garrett Morgan - Inventor Garrett Morgan - Inventor: What an interesting story for Black History Month observed every February across the U.S.! This book about Garrett Morgan, an African-American inventor, tells the story of Morgan and his important inventions: a belt fastener for sewing machines, a gas mask, a traffic signal, and a hair-straightening chemical among others. He is also known for developing a water intake tunnel to help save workers who were trapped fifty feet beneath Lake Erie. Morgan co-founded the Cleveland Association of Colored Men which later merged with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The NAACP is a civil rights organization formed in 1909 to advance justice for African Americans. The First Grade Level F reader has two pages of activities that reinforce the ELA skills and Social Studies-related concepts. Your students will learn about an important figure in U.S. history despite not receiving the full recognition he deserved for his many beneficial contributions to society. They will marvel that he was so innovative, capable, and intelligent to excel in life despite obtaining only a 6th-grade education and facing racial discrimination throughout his life. What a true inspiration for your young students!
