Oh man oh maaan I love learning all there is to learn about our history! Now although it’s something I do all year round I’m especially deep in it once February hits. It’s also a GREAT space to educate your Seeds on all the accomplishments we as a ppl have made. Black History goes deeper than M.L.K Day and Harriet Tubman(must respect to both respectfully!
Now here’s some I learned a few years back and was like yoooooooo! All this time we heard about Ford Automotive but have you ever heard of C.R. Patterson and Sons!!!? If not buckle up we boutta go in…Happiest Black History Month we BEEN history 365❤️🖤💚!
Patterson-Greenfield was an early 20th-century automaker headquartered in Greenfield, Ohio, a small town roughly midway between Columbus and Cincinnati. Like a number of early brands, including Buick,Pontiac,and Studebaker, it was founded as a successful 19th-century maker of horse-drawn carriages. But unlike any of those contemporaries or any other U.S. automobile company before or since, it was founded and run entirely by African American owners, providing it with a particular prominence in vehicular history.
