Summary Black Tech is written for first- to third-grade readers, but its content is applicable to all ages. In the book, a young narrator presents Black inventors and their unique inventions in a colorful way that catches the eye of the reader. Some of these lesser-known inventors highlighted in the book include Gladys West, Jesse Russell, Alexander Miles, Frederick Jones, and other dynamic scientists and engineers. The book is designed to appeal to anyone with ten seconds to read short descriptions paired with colorful illustrations. The book is also designed to invoke pride in the readers and to encourage readers to pursue their own passions with purpose and clarity. Black Tech was born out of the author's belief in the importance of exposing young people to history early on, giving them all an opportunity to see themselves and their potential.
