Thomas Jennings invented “dry scouring” receiving a patent in 1820. With his success he became a leader of the abolitionist movement in NY. After his death in 1859 Frederick Douglass wrote about the importance of his patent recognizing him as a citizen of the US, a rarity in those times.

Today is January 6, the anniversary of the felon/GOP’s violent insurrection trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election! We remember 140 officers who were injured & those who lost their lives due to the attack on the Capitol! Hold all involved in the insurrection accountable!
