Relates How History Ignored Negro Inventor NEW YORK—What common quality do these diverse Items share: the golf tee, potato chipa, the player piano, the gas mask, the first traffic light? The surprising answer: credit for inventing all of them be longs to Negroes. Why don't more of us know this? According to one histo rian, it's because the truth about the black man's contri butions to American history has been consistently sup pressed and distorted. In an exclusive interview in the July Reader's Digest, Wil liam Loren Katz calls for a vast expansion in the teaching of Negro history as "the only way we'll finally destroy the stereo types and myths that have been built up through the years." Chief among those, he says, is the one created "to justify the hideous institution of slavery" —that of a docile slow-witted black, content with his slave status. "Most people are genuinely astonished when they learn tthat blacks sailed with Colum bus, marched with Balboa and Pizarro and Cortes, fought side by side with Americans in all our wars, won 22 Medals of Honor in the Civil War . . ." Katz writes. And far from being a "con tented" slave, he says, the black man fought for his free dom at every chance he got. "There were numerous cases of successful uprisings on slave ships, and Nat Turner's planta tion revolt of 1831 was only one of many." Along with the black soldier and the black inventor we've also ignored the black cowboy, Katz says. "In the typical trail crew of eight men that drove cattle up the Chisholm Trail, at least two were blacks. The black troopers of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry composed one fifth of all the mounted troops assigned to protect the frontier after the Civil War—but you'd never know that from watching television!". "You should see the amaze in en t and relief on black youngsters' faces when they learn that their ancestors real ly had a part" in the settling of the West, he writes. To redress the balance, Katz argues, we now need teaching materials that will prepare youngsters for life in a multi racial society. Until such ma, terial can be blended into courses on the junior-high and senior-high levels, It may be necessary to offer separate courses on black history. J WILSON Airman Warren E.
