His parents were slaves who had escaped from Virginia. His father, George Latimer, was tried for being a runaway in an extremely famous case, but was ultimately allowed to remain in Massachusetts as a free man.
2.Lewis Latimer is responsible for improving the lightbulb.  Latimer patented a carbon filament for the incandescent lightbulb. The invention helped make electric lighting practical and affordable for the average household.
3.In my opinion Latimer's improved lightbulb invention is important because it made helped make electric lighting practical and affordable for the average household so it would be easier for everyone to have some light in their home. And without it a lot of people would have to still use candles  or things like that.

Her parents were former slaves. Walker was orphaned at age 7 and married at 14. By age 20, she was widowed with a small child. She relocated to St. Louis, Mo., and later During the 1890s, Walker suffered hair loss. This was a common problem at the time. Because indoor plumbing was less common, people washed their hair infrequently. This left their scalps vulnerable to bacteria and lice. Walker experimented with homemade treatments and eventually created a formula that she called "Madame C.J. Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower." After changing her name to the more recognizable "Madame C.J. Walker," she traveled around the country promoting her hair care tips and products to African American women. Her knack for self-promotion made her one of the most famous African Americans of her time and a very successful businesswoman who owned multiple homes. She is one of America's first self-made female millionaires.married Charles J.

Mr miles made this because before people had to close the doors and if they didnt they could fall but then Alex made a mechanism that triggered the shaft doors to open and close the doors.
