The UnWhitewashed Truth: We Wouldn't Have Home Computers Without Black Ingenuity

By Maurice Woodson

The history of modern technology is incomplete - because it has been whitewashed.

Every time you turn on a computer, stream a video, or use a smartphone, you are benefiting from the genius of Black innovators whose names have been hidden or erased.

In The UnWhitewashed Truth: We Wouldn't Have Home Computers Without Black Ingenuity, historian and educator Maurice Woodson exposes the lies of traditional tech history and shines a light on the Black pioneers who made the digital age possible.

Mark Dean - co-creator of the IBM PC.Jerry Lawson - inventor of the video game cartridge.Katherine Johnson & Evelyn Boyd Granville - NASA mathematicians who powered the Space Race.Philip Emeagwali - father of parallel computing.Lisa Gelobter - architect of streaming and web animation.John Henry Thompson - creator of the Lingo programming language.And many more...

This is not a story of "hidden figures." It is a story of central figures - innovators who changed the world despite racism, sexism, and systemic erasure.

If you want the truth about technology - unfiltered and unwhitewashed - this book is essential reading.
