Best Answer

Edison knew how great Granville T. Woods invention was so he try to sued him, to claim he did it first. When he did not win, he realize how great the Woods was, so he still wanted credit for himself, so he offer Granville T. Woods job at his company which Woods decline. How can you work with someone else, when you got the skills do it yourself. Even thought is black was still not equal with their counterpart, they got paid less for the work they done around the world.
