We also learn about Granville T. Woods, born in 1856 (before slavery was abolished), who became a master engineer and invented the telephone telegraph—the technology that allows us to talk AND listen at the same time on our phones! His story proves that when we understand who God made us to be, there's nothing we can't accomplish.
