Garrett Morgan

Just as it is with Thomas Edison and the light bulb, Garrett Morgan was one of many that helped to shape and perfect today's gas mask. Morgan's device was patented as a "safety hood and smoke protector" and was designed to keep firefighters safe during risky rescue attempts. It had sponges in it that when moistened with water would filter out soot from the smoke in the air during a fire. It was never intended to keep the wearer safe from say a chemical or gas leak. Those masks came about a few years after Morgan's.

Garrett Morgan is credited with saving the lives of many people, particularly during a 1916 tunnel explosion in Cleveland, Ohio, where he used his gas mask invention to rescue trapped workers. He is estimated to have saved the lives of at least 20 individuals during this incident. His contributions to safety and public health through his inventions have had a lasting impact, but specific numbers on lives saved beyond this event are harder to quantify.

At the age of fourteen, Morgan moved north to Cincinnati, Ohio, in search of employment. Most of his teenage years were spent working as a handyman for a wealthy Cincinnati landowner. Like many African-Americans of his day, Morgan had to quit school at a young age in order to work. However, the teen-aged Morgan was able to hire his own tutor and continued his studies while living in Cincinnati. In 1895, Morgan moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he worked repairing sewing machines for a clothing manufacturer. He married Madge Nelson in 1896, but the marriage ended in divorce. Word of his skill at fixing things and experimenting spread quickly throughout Cleveland, opening up various opportunities for him.

The inventor Garrett Morgan was born in 1877, and his parents were both former slaves; all slaves had been emancipated by the time of Morgan's birth.
