Yes, Granville Woods, an African American inventor and engineer, made significant contributions to the development of electrical systems and railway technology in the late 19th century. He held over 60 patents, including innovations such as the multiplex telegraph, which allowed multiple messages to be sent over a single wire, and an improved version of the steam locomotive. His inventions greatly enhanced communication and safety in the railroad industry. Woods is often referred to as the "Black Edison" for his groundbreaking work.
