Charles Richard Drew

                                                               DID YOU KNOW??

"The American Red Cross blood program of today is a direct result of the work of medical pioneer Dr. Charles Drew, beginning in 1940 and throughout World War II. Dr. Drew was instrumental in developing blood plasma processing, storage and transfusion therapy. His groundbreaking work in the large-scale production of human plasma was eventually used by the U.S. Army and the American Red Cross as the basis for blood banks..

He invented the blood bank. What is a blood  bank you may ask yourself, a blood bank is  A place where blood is collected from donors, typed, separated into components, stored, and prepared for transfusion to recipients. A blood bank may be a separate free-standing facility or part of a larger laboratory in a hospital. Why did he invent the blood bank for the importance of a blood transfusion and this is also used if you have any kind of cancer this is an very important invention to the world today

David Crosthwait,Jr.

Crosthwait invented something that we all are glad to have. We use this system in the summer and the winter, or just when ever we need it. He invented the HVAC. Which is the heating ventilation and air conditioning. It all came about when he studied heat transfer and steam transport, as he went into a deep concentration study he put all of his thoughts together and he created the HVAC. If he was still living and you had to write a thank you letter what would you say to him, because he is a big help to us all today.

What would you do. How do you feel.

How would you feel if you did something so great and someone took credit for it. Many african american who invented things that we use every day did not receive credit for it. Garrett A. Morgan invented the tarffic light and he don't always receive credit for it all the time. How would you feel if this happen to you.

BROADEN YOUR THINKING

A famous statement our teachers always tell us is " you can do any thing if you put your mind to it". Do you belive in this statement. If you were offer 2.9 million dollars to invent anything that will attract all age groups what would it be. Think outside the box and broaden your thinking.
