N2  - This book not only documents the valuable contributions of African American thinkers, inventors, and entrepreneurs past and present, but also puts these achievements into context of the obstacles these innovators faced because of their race.  After patenting over 40 innovations in the research chemistry field while working at the Glidden Company, Dr. Percy Lavon Julian decided to establish his own company, Julian Laboratories, Incorporated in Chicago during the turbulent, racist climate of the 1950s. Over his lifetime, Julian received more than 130 chemical patents. Julian is just one of many, mostly unknown, African American inventors and entrepreneurs.
