 \nby Akimi Gibsonillustrated by Laura J.Bryant  \nhen slavery in the UnitedStates ended in 1865,thelives of African Americanschanged in many ways.One  \nimportant change was that African Americaninventors could now take out patents on theirinventions.A patent is a grant from the U.S.government giving a person the right to makeor sell his or her invention.By 1913 manyinventions had been patented by AfricanAmericans in such areas as machinery,  \ntransportation,and electricity.Lewis HowardLatimer was one of the most important ofthese inventors.  \nLewis Latimer's Childhood  \nLewis Howard Latimer was born on September 4,1848,in Chelsea,Massachusetts,a small town nearBoston.His parents were George Latimer and RebeccaSmith.The youngest of four children,Lewis had twobrothers and a sister.  \nBoth of Lewis's parents were born into slavery intheSouth.Eventually George and Rebecca escaped to Boston.  \n3,George later won his freedom,_and their_children wereborn free.  \nLife was not easy for the Latimer family.Some peopledid not want former slaves to remain free.The family  \nmoved from home to home,looking for a safe place to live.George Latimer ran a barbershop.Lewis and his brothershelped their father by keeping the shop neat and clean.  \n3  \n④  \nLewis Latimer was onlyfifteen when he servedas a cabin boy on theUSS Massasoit duringthe Civil War.  \nWhen Lewis was notworking,he went toPhillips Grammar School.Lewis was such a goodstudent that he even,skipped a grade.  \nOne day,when Lewiswas about ten,his father  \n⑤disappeared.No oneknows the reason.Lewis had to leave school and work tohelp support his family.First,he sold newspapers.Then atthe age of thirteen,he got a job as an office boy.  \nA few years later,the Civil War began.The northern states were fighting thesouthern states over the issue of slavery.Lewis was too_young,but hepretended to be older and joinedthe United States Navy along withhis brothers.He was assigned tothe USS Massasoit.  \nAt the end of the war,Lewis,nowseventeen,found a job at the office ofpatent lawyers Crosby and Gould.  \n4  \nPatent Pending  \nWith the Civil War over,peoplewere inventing things as never before.Crosby and Gould helped people get  \ntheir inventions patented.The lawyers","cbCainFbLegTjZaD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainFbLegTjZaD","pdf",1652640,"English","# Lewis Howard Latimer: An Inventive Mind!\n## From Childhood to the Civil War\n## Drafting, Patents, and Learning the Process\n## Patent Pending: Inventions and Collaboration\n## Connections with Alexander Graham Bell","[{\"question\":\"How did African American inventors change after slavery ended in 1865?\",\"answer\":\"After slavery ended, African American inventors could apply for and receive patents for their inventions, which gave them rights to make or sell what they invented.\"},{\"question\":\"What role did Latimer play at Crosby and Gould?\",\"answer\":\"Latimer learned drafting, became a draftsman, and later head draftsman, helping inventors with the drawings required for patent applications.\"},{\"question\":\"How did Latimer help Alexander Graham Bell with the telephone?\",\"answer\":\"Latimer made the detailed drawings of the telephone system and helped write the description that accompanied Bell’s patent application.\"}]","Lewis Howard Latimer - An Inventive Mind!
