Patricia Bath (born Nov. 4, 1942)
Bath is an ophthalmologist and inventor known for being the first African-American female doctor to receive a patent for a medical invention. While attending Columbia University, she discovered that African-Americans were more likely to go blind than whites. She was one of the first Black women to complete a residency program in ophthalmology. In 1988, Bath received a patent for the Laserphaco Probe to help restore sight.
Anything blacks have built, discovered or invented while under the oppression of the slave masters whip is unworthy of praise, celebration or recognition.
The black mans discovered is stolen then changed slightly then made the white mans discovery.
Remember a goodly number of black scientist are financed by the white man who stand in the shadowy world of finance waiting to pounce. (SEE CONTRACTS)
