Lewis Latimer invented the carbon filament in 1881 or 1882?
No!
English chemist/physicist Joseph Swan
experimented with a carbon-filament incandescent light all the way back in 1860, and by 1878 had developed a better design which he patented in Britain.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Thomas Edison developed a successful carbon-filament bulb, receiving a patent for it (#223898) in January 1880, before Lewis Latimer did any work in electric lighting.
From 1880 onward, countless patents were issued for innovations in filament design and manufacture (Edison had
over 50 of them).
Neither of Latimer's two filament-related patents in 1881 and 1882 were among the
most important innovations, nor did they make the light bulb
last longer, nor is there reason to believe they were adopted outside Hiram Maxim's company where Latimer worked at the time. (He was not hired by Edison's company until 1884, primarily as a draftsman and an expert witness in patent litigations).
Latimer also did not come up with the first
screw socket for the light bulb or the
first book on electric lighting.

"They" are nigrifying history. And the movies. And commercials. And our skreets.
Every ad I see on the teevee whenever I get near one of those things has to have a smart and informative asian woman, a smart and authoritative black man, and a stupid white guy who is the butt of whatever joke is making the spot interesting enough to watch.
When I made commercials, the butt of the joke was always a concentration camp survivor. I didn't sell very many spots, though.
Not any, actually. My advertising enterprise was just as big a failure as the penis-shaped rape whistle I tried to sell on late night info-mercials.
I really thought the penis-shaped rape whistle would be a big seller. The intended victim gets the help she needs, and the attacker at least gets a bit of titilation. Win/win.
I tell ya, I have more failed ventures than I can shake a stick at. I wrote a Felcher's Cookbook - sold zero copies. I went to a lot of trouble coming up with recipes for things like Fudge Tunnel Bundt Cake, Sphincterdoodle Cookies, Cream-filled Hershey Squirts, just a ****-ton of dessert recipes. Drinks like the Virgin Bloody Gary could have caught on, if the book had sold. It had great entrees, like Steak in a Sac and Saddle-Backed Tube Steak and Blackened Trouser Trout. For appetizers there were things like Oysters Get your Rocks off Fellers.
Zero copies I sold. Probably because of the jews.
