George Washington Murray was a farmer, teacher, inventor and U.S. congressman who earned nine U.S. patents—eight of them for agricultural machinery in 1894.
His inventions helped farmers plant, fertilize, harvest and distribute crops more efficiently.
That same year, Murray read a list of 92 inventions patented by African Americans into the Congressional Record. Compiled by patent examiner Henry E. Baker, the list became an important record of Black innovation.
Murray’s name was on it, too!

Sometimes healing means accepting what is, learning the lesson, and moving forward with peace.
Forgiveness does not always mean reconciliation.
Growth is how you choose to show up next time.
🤍 Choose peace.
🤍 Choose growth.
🤍 Choose yourself.
