Garrett Morgan was influenced by his experiences and the challenges he faced as an African American in the early 20th century. His work as a sewing machine repairman and later as an entrepreneur exposed him to various mechanical problems, sparking his interest in invention. Additionally, witnessing the dangers of traffic and industrial accidents motivated him to create safety devices like the traffic signal and the gas mask, reflecting his desire to improve public safety and address societal needs.
