• Garrett Augustus Morgan Sr., a Man of Many Talents

According to a frequently told story, it was Morgan's experience while driving along the streets of Cleveland that led to his invention of a traffic signal. It has been told that Morgan witnessed a collision between an automobile and a horse-drawn carriage. This would convince him that something had to be done to improve automobile safety. Morgan created a T-shaped pole unit that featured three hand-cranked positions: "Stop," "Go" and an all-direction stop position. This third position halted traffic in all directions to allow pedestrians to cross streets more safely. Well, I hope you enjoyed this week's ride on "the Train." There are so many great people who need to be reintroduced to today's society. [...] due to the racial climate, he let his White partner take the credit as the inve...

• The Los Angeles Sentinel's Legends of the Past; Garrett Augustus Morgan

He then expanded into the newspaper business establishing the Cleveland Call. As a successful businessman, he bought a home and an automobile; the latter was a luxury item at that time. While he was driving - and he foresaw the automobile explosion - he envisioned the need for the traffic lights. This became one of his many patented inventions and one with which he is most famously associated. Morgan saw that the automobile was here to stay and that a system would be needed to control the coming influx of traffic. His traffic light wonder coincided with the advent of the automobile and the way that America began to move about the country. The traffic light was patented in the U.S., Canada and Great Britain.
