From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone in the 74th AD. I look forward to being your next Assembly Member and continuing to represent the community that I have always called home.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

Today NYC restaurant owners and workers traveled to Albany to explain to lawmakers how devastating eliminating the tip credit would be to small businesses and jobs. Thank you to members of the NYS Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic & Asian Legislative Caucus for listening to their perspectives. Save the Tip Credit to support local restaurants and jobs.

The first and only black-owned automobile in history was the Patterson-Greenfield Automobile Company, pioneered by Frederick Patterson and his father Charles R. Patterson. #BlackHistoryMonth —Frederick Douglas Patterson was the first African American to build motorized cars. His father, Charles Rich Patterson created C. R. Patterson and Sons Company located in Greenfield, Ohio. Beginning in 1865, the company built fashionable carriages. Frederick Patterson inherited the company upon the death of his father in 1910 and began building motorized vehicles. The first Patterson automobile, the Patterson-Greenfield, rolled off the line on Sept 23, 1915. Unfortunately, Henry Ford debuted the Model T on Oct 1, 1908 and by that point had captured most of the American car-buying market. —Named after abolitionist Frederick Douglass, Patterson was born on Sept 17, 1871 in Greenfield, Ohio to Josephine and Charles Richard. In 1888, Patterson attended Ohio State University where he played football and may have been the first Black player at the school on the varsity team. His passion, however, lay in the family business so he moved home in 1897 and joined his father and brother at C.R. Patterson and Sons. When his father died in 1910, Frederick assumed leadership of the business. —The Patterson-Greenfield sold for $850 and was reputed to be a higher quality automobile than Henry Ford’s “Tin Lizzy” or Model T. The Patterson-Greenfield car had a forty horsepower Continental four-cylinder engine and reached a top speed of fifty miles per hour. Unfortunately, the Model T had cornered the automobile market. It sold initially for $825 in 1908 when first introduced to the public, but over the years as Ford production expanded, the price by 1915 was $360, the year the first Patterson-Greenfield debuted. —From 1915 to 1920, the company produced 150 Patterson vehicles of two styles, the two-door roadster and the big four-door touring car. The company slogan, “If it’s a Patterson, it’s a good one” described the company’s carriages as well as the motor vehicles. C.R. Patterson and Sons, however, could not obtain capital to continue manufacturing the automobiles. By 1920 it had shifted production to buses and trucks and Patterson renamed the company to the Greenfield Bus Body Company. During the 1930s competition from Detroit became increasingly more intense. —If you appreciate what I do, please support me on Ko-fi & follow for history blog posts! ko-fi.com/africanarchives Thank you! 📚💫 Donations are NOT required but they are appreciated.—

We honor our Black and African American communities, cultures, and history. Join us this month in celebrating Black History Month on Sesame Street. 💛💚

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
