Also in a local to Boston vein, Louis Latimer was a black inventor born 
in Chelsea in 1848. Among other things, he invented a good way to 
manufacture the carbon filaments in light bulbs. More info is available 
on the web. I only know of him through a recent contact with the "Louis 
Latimer Society" in Chelsea which does out of school work with Chelsea 
youth. Alissa, let me know if you want to check in with the Latimer society.
