BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Thomas L. Jennings was the first black man to receive a patent. The patent was awarded on March 3, 1821 for his discovery of a process called dry-scouring which was the forerunner of today’s modern dry cleaning. In his early 20s, he became a tailor, but then opened a dry cleaning business in the city. The patent he developed generated considerable controversy during this time period. Slaves, at this time, could not patent their own inventions. However, since Jennings was born free in 1791 in New York City, he was able to gain exclusive rights to his invention and profit from it.
