Thomas Edison is credited with inventing the light bulb, but it's a little known fact the he could not keep the light bulb on. It was the son of former slaves, Lewis Latimer, of Boston, Massachusetts, who developed the filament that allows light bulbs to work. #CriticalRaceFact https://t.co/LjsRiCbkdj — PolitiTweet.org
