In honor of black history month I figured I should post something.
Many technological advancements have been developed by African Americans. Elijah McCoy invented an oil-dripping cup for trains in 1872. This allowed trains to be more efficient and run faster amongst other things. Many tried to copy his invention but they didn’t work as well. This is how the term “the real McCoy” developed, because his product worked so well.
