This is a piece of art from the Macon Georgia Harriet Tubman Museum.  Well worth the visit. We learned about some African American inventors and inventions, mostly basic items you would use every day--like ice cream, the ice cream scoop, the ironing board.  We didn't learn about these and other inventions, partly because we can't be taught everything, and also because many inventions were eventually taken by white owners, or other powerful whites.  Slaves invented what they needed to make their lives and jobs better.
Enjoyed our visit to the Harriet Tubman Museum in Macon, Georgia
