You've probably only been taught that the lightbulb was invented by Thomas Edison, and that's technically true, but Edison's light bulbs were not practical and burnt out in only a few hours. In comes Lewis Latimer, who came up with the idea for carbon filaments, what made light bulbs last for months. In 1918, he was the first person of colour to join the Edison Pioneers.
