Garrett Augudtus Morgan

Garrett Augudtus Morgan born on March 4 1877 at the age of fifteen Morgan moved to Cincinnati Ohio looking for some type of employment. Morgan’s teenage years were spent working as a handyman for a Cincinnati landowner. Morgan had to quit school at a young age for work. Morgan was able to hire his own tutor in his teenage years and continued his studies while living in Cincinnati. Morgan moved to Cleveland Ohio where he worked repairing machines for a clothing company. Morgan opened his own sewing machine and shoe repair shop where the company made coats, suits, dresses, and other clothing. That same year, he married Mary Anne Hassek, and together they had three sons. Garrett Augudtus Morgan was the inventor of the very first traffic light. My selection is significant because people should know about such a great invention. Its important for students to learn about Garrett Augudtus Morgan and his great contribution to inventing the stop light because the stop light is something we use in our everyday lives. Maybe people would respect black people a lot more. If Morgan never made such a great invention who knows what we would be using these days. There would probably be a whole lot of traffic police.
