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. —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.

@KevOnStage Oooooohhhhhhh yaaaaasssss!

What Avery Wilson did to the bridge of “Can We Talk” should be archived and studied.

Selma Burke was a sculptor and a member of the Harlem Renaissance movement, best known for a bas relief portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt She never received credit for her portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt which was later featured on the US dime.

@Slicemsp I want to sincerely thank you for coming. Best delivery ever. I received the delivery. The kids were very happy. Please come and see them perform on the 23rd-25th. They will be excited to share what you helped to fuel!

Enough is enough. What kind of world do we live in where we refuse to deliver food to students investing their weekends in extracurricular activities because they’re located in North Minneapolis?

@MissyElliott That’s exactly what we had to do to get to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival!

When you are trying new things or projects MANY people may not get it & they will have you questioning your own visions❌ You STEP OUT on FAITH because if you let fear of failing enter your mind someone else will take that same risk & WIN & you will regret atleast not trying💯

No matter how you feel, get up, show up, and never give up.

@TheSamurider @MissyElliott Oooooo my gawd! You should be in all the warrior movies! You are awesome!

There will never be another Missy Elliot. She’s in a league of her own. @MissyElliott
