Black History Lesson #otisboykin

Otis Frank Boykin (August 29, 1920, Dallas, Texas – March 13, 1982, Chicago, Illinois) was an African-#American #inventor and #engineer. Otis Boykin attended Booker T. Washington High School in Dallas, where he was the #valedictorian, graduating in 1938. He attended #FiskUniversity on a scholarship and worked as a laboratory assistant at the university's nearby aerospace laboratory. He then moved to Chicago, where he studied at Illinois Institute of Technology but dropped out after two years; some sources say it was because he could not afford his tuition, but he later told Julia Scott Reed of the #DallasMorningNews that he left for an employment opportunity and did not have time to return to finish his degree. He was discovered and mentored by Dr. Denton Deere, an engineer and inventor with his own #laboratory. Otis Boykin’s most notable contribution to #science was likely the circuit improvements he made to #pacemakers after losing his mother to #heart failure — a contribution that has saved countless lives since. But this single improvement was among a long list of achievements. Boykin had 26 #patents in his name and is famed for the development of @ibm #computers, burglar-proof cash register, chemical air filters, and an electronic resistor used in controlled #missiles and other devices. #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #americanhistory #unitedstates #usa #history #morethanamonth #otisboykin

Hey there! sixth day and focus is black inventors. I think that when we think about Black inventors we kind of zone out and don't realise how much has been done and how much black individuals have contributed to today's society and development. I've just chosen 5. I think @keke sums it up really well: Repost :'Imagine if it was a tradition during black history month where you couldn’t use anything a black person invented 😳👀— I think I’d miss my cell phone the most and we could forget about driving, no stop lights. All yo food going bad cause you can’t use a refrigerator and so much more. What would you miss? 🧐 “Sometimes it’s necessary to be without, therefore you can appreciate its importance in its absence.”' #bgpphotochallenge #inventions #blackinventions #blackinventors #bgpblackhm #bhm #blackhistorymonth #Shirleyjackson #resilence #success #takeover #hiddenfigures #Godisgreat #keepgoing #Christianblog #blackgirl #cba #aspirations #thanksbetogod #brightfuture #charlesdrew #blackpower #motivated #otisboykin #lisagelobter #reachforthestars #slaytrain #blackexcellence #lewislatimer
