Hello hello, my lovely YPOC community! I wanted to take some time here to celebrate Black History Month with you all by honoring some of the contributions Black people have made to our society! Here are some inventions that many of us use all the time that wouldn't have existed without these incredible Black scientists and inventors!

Question: How many of these inventions do you use?

I SCREAM,YOU SCREAM ,WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE-CREAM. That was one of my favorite childhood songs whenever the ice-cream truck came around. But on a more serious note, i love the fact that we are appreciating the movement on the platform.
