In the 1930's a Black American man named Charles M Banks gained a patent for his hydraulic jack, which helped to establish new safey and reliability standards for the transit industry by allowing maintence & mechanic staff to safely inspect & maintain transit buses more throughly than ever.
The technology eventually led to and inspired the hydraulics systems used in lowriders, which was pioneered by a Black man named Vernon V-Maxx Maxwell who played a significant role in the Southern California scene.
It is important to note the contributions and history of Black Americans in lowrider and chicano culture, which wouldn't exist without the necessary contributions Black Americans made for it to be what it is.
