Garrett Augustus Morgan Sr. was a renowned American inventor, businessman, and community leader. He is famous for creating a two-way traffic light and a life-saving ‘smoke hood’ used during a tunnel construction disaster in 1916. Morgan also invented a chemical hair-straightening solution, founding the prosperous “G. A. Morgan Hair Refining Company.” His contributions extended beyond inventions, as he actively promoted the civic and political progress of African Americans, notably in Cleveland, Ohio.
