I did not know this! I would love to see a drama about Thomas Jennings - not only his mission to get that patent, but how he came up with the concept of dry cleaning and the many experiments and setbacks he must have gone thru as its inventor. Would be fascinating!! Check out more from @blackdetour via their bio 🥇🏆🎉 . . #Repost from @theblackdetour with @regram.app ...

Thomas L. Jennings Thomas Jennings was an African American inventor, tradesman and abolitionist, who 197 years ago today became the first black man to receive a patent for his invention of the dry cleaning process called dry-scouring. Johnson used his wealth from patent royalties to promote social change for equality. He was a significant member of the first three National Conventions of the People of Colour and severed as a trustee of the Abyssinian Baptist Church. Along with several other prominent black leaders Johnson was successful in establishing "Freedom's Journal", the first African-American newspaper. #BlackPride #BlackLove #JuiceBlogConnection #NeverForget #BlackSuccess #BlackHistory #BlackKnowledge #BlackFacts #ThomasJennings #BlackInventor

#ThomasJennings, resisting arrest, clearly with his hands up. I'm sure he posed a threat that merited that punch to the side of the head.
