New on TikTok: Today is All Saints Day, or to put it another way, the day we recall our ancestors, not just the ones in our physical lineage, but also those whose lives have impacted our lives. I have been traveling around the states for the past two weeks, and in every place I passed through, I carried the names of two Black inventors who have kept me and my family safe on this and many journeys. Gladys West, whose algorithms and geodetic calculations became the core foundation of GPS accuracy. And Garrett A. Morgan, who helped to shape the automatic traffic light. So tonight, say their names, and carry them with you on all future journeys. Until the next time, walk good. #AllSaintsDay #GladysWest #GarrettMorgan #BlackInventors
