Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb.

Lewis Howard Latimer (September 4, 1848 – December 11, 1928) was a Black American (Israelite) inventor and patent draftsman for the patents of the lightbulb and telephone.

Lewis Howard Latimer (September 4, 1848 – December 11, 1928) was a Black American (Israelite) inventor and patent draftsman for the patents of the lightbulb and telephone.

Latimer, along with Joseph Nichols, invented a light bulb with a carbon filament, an improvement on Thomas Edison's original paper filament, which would burn out quickly, and sold the patent to the United States Electric Company in 1881.

Lightbulb was invented by Thomas Edison. You think you are smarter than everyone else?

the question is - who invented the light bulb - not who invented the filament.

the answer - Edison invented the light-bulb.

None is as important as Nikola the Genius Tesla

A biography on EEI’s site states that while working for Maxim, “Latimer invented and patented a process for making carbon filaments for light bulbs,” and helped install broad-scale lighting systems for New York City, Philadelphia, Montreal, and London. Latimer holds the patents for the electric lamp, issued in 1881, and for the “process of manufacturing carbons” (the filament used in incandescent light bulbs), issued in 1882. It was roughly 1885 when he finally joined forces with Edison and began improving upon his boss’s invention.

And I can bet they forced themselves (Thomas Edison and the rest) in so the credit doesn't entirely go to the child of slavery.

In some cases the inventor is given a little token to keep quiet. he can't afford the service of a lawyer so he does. in other cases,he is murdered so the secret is kept forever.

A Blackman then was a slave.he had no right
