[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what he would have become had he been white?[/quote] probably the same, he didn't take it to the next level, it happens all the time. some people are not head coach material and are assistants all their life [/quote] During the late 1800s, could a black man really have been able to be "head coach material?" Btw, not only was he an assistant, but he was also a patent attorney.[/quote] That's fantastic! Doesn't that kind of defeat your argument about his not receiving due credit because he was black? His contributions were recognized. He was educated, far moreso than was standard for that day (or even now). There are even websites listing his biographies. How many other apprentices/aides/etc of that time can claim that? I can't name any other.[/quote] Don't be deliberately obtuse[/quote]
