Marie Van Brittan Brown invented the first home security system in 1966. She was concerned about safety in her neighborhood and, along with her husband, Albert Brown (an electronics technician), designed a system to monitor visitors and improve home security.

Her patent was approved in 1969, laying the foundation for modern CCTV systems, video surveillance, and smart home security. Today’s security systems, including Ring doorbells and smart cameras, are based on her early design.

Marie Van Brittan Brown’s invention was groundbreaking, especially for a Black woman in the 1960s, and her contributions continue to protect millions of homes worldwide.✊🏿Salute!❤️🖤💚

Did you know that the most popular snack in the world, French fries, was born out of frustration? The story begins in 1853 in Saratoga Springs, New York, at Moon Lake House, where George Crum, a brilliant chef of African American and Native American descent, was making a name for himself with his culinary skills.
One fateful day, a particularly picky customer complained that Crum fries were too thick and soggy. Determined to teach this guest a lesson, Crum cut the potatoes paper thin, fried them until crispy, and heavily salted them. To their surprise, the customer loved them and soon everyone wanted to try Crum's Saratoga fries. "
What many don't know is that George Crum never patented his creation nor made a fortune from it. Instead, potato chips became a local sensation, spreading beyond New York and evolving into the snack we know today. Despite this, Crum continued working at Moon's Lake House and eventually opened his own restaurant, where the rich and famous came to enjoy his fries.
Crum contribution to culinary history is a reminder that even our small acts can have a lasting impact. The next time you eat a fry-up, remember the ingenious chef who turned a complaint into an iconic creation that is still loved around the world, more than 170 years later. George Crum legacy lives on in every bite. Credits: Noticias, curiosidades y otras tonterías

In 1913, a young 10-year-old girl named Sarah Rector was given a 160-acre parcel of land in Oklahoma, simply because she was part of a land allotment program. But since the best land was reserved for white people, they gave her what was considered barren, unproductive land. 🌾What no one could have predicted was that oil would later be discovered on that very land. This unexpected turn of events made Sarah one of the first African-American millionaires in the country, proving that even in a world set against her, destiny had other plans. 💫
From barren land to boundless fortune, Sarah’s story is a testament to resilience and luck. 💰
