Patent Office Examiner and Researcher
All Across the US
Henry E. Baker devoted most of his life to researching and publicizing Black inventions. His research helped Congressman Murray develop a list of 92 Black inventors read before Congress in 1894 and provided information for exhibits and projects that followed like the U.S. Commission to the Paris Exposition in 1900. His work unearthed over 400 patented inventors and many more who attempted to receive patents.
