In 1916, Cleveland workers drilling a tunnel under Lake Erie became trapped in toxic fumes following a huge gas explosion. After two previous failed rescue attempts, Mr. Morgan and his brother stepped in, using his gas masks to rescue two workers and recover four bodies. https://t.co/4qP9s3YNfh — PolitiTweet.org

Despite his heroism, it took years for the city to recognize his crucial role in the rescue. Even when orders for his life-saving smoke hoods came pouring in from fire departments across the country, many canceled their purchases when they realized the inventor was a Black man. https://t.co/kMamX7GiiI — PolitiTweet.org
