Did Nathaniel Alexander invent the folding chair? Nathaniel Alexander Inventor of a Folding Chair - ThoughtCo On July 7 1911 an African-American man named Nathaniel Alexander of Lynchburg Virginia patented a folding chair. According to his patent Nathaniel Alexander designed his chair to be used in schools churches and other auditoriums. His design included a book rest that was usable for the person sitting in the seat behind and was ideal for church or choir use.​

Fast Facts: Nathaniel Alexander

Known For: African-American patent holder for a folding chair

Born: Unknown

Parents: Unknown

Died: Unknown

Published Works: Patent 997,108, filed March 10, 1911, and granted July 4 the same year

Patent 997108 is the only invention on record for Nathaniel Alexander, but on March 10, 1911, his application was witnessed by two people: James R.L. Diggs and C.A. Lindsay. James R.L. Diggs was a Baptist minister from Baltimore (born in 1865), who was a member of the Niagara Movement, and holder of an MA from Bucknell University and a PhD in Sociology from Illinois Wasleyan in 1906.

in fact, Diggs was the first African-American to hold a Sociology Ph.D. in the United States. The Niagara Movement was a Black civil rights movement led by W.E.B. DuBois and William Monroe Trotter, who assembled in Niagara Falls, Ontario (American hotels barred Blacks), to discuss Jim Crow laws following the Reconstruction.

 Folding chairs allow the space to be used for other purposes when there is not a class or church service.

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

OUR ANCESTORS ARE SAYING " NOW THAT IS A NEW MEANING TO THE SAYING HAVE A SEAT, WE SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT"

LITTLE DID NATHANIEL ALEXANDER REALIZE IN 1911 HIS INVENTION WOULD BE USE AS A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION THAT WOULD MAKE THE ANCESTORS PROUD.

HOW IRONIC IS THIS

" ANCESTRAL BEAT DOWN" TOOK PLACE AT THE MONTGOMERY DOCKS IN ALABAMA - THE RIVERBOAT IS CALL THE HARRIOTT AND THE DOCK WAS A SLAVE TRADING PORT.

The Harriott was a slave ship back in the 1700s. From 1798 to 1805, it carried thousands of slaves to Barbados and then back to Liverpool. However, it was owned by Barton & Co and also cruised between Liverpool and Africa. It now serves as a relaxing cruise and is one of Montgomery's tourist attractions.

SO ALL THE ANCESTOR ARE STANDING SMILING PROUD

very uninformed prev anon here, what are the English lies?

Don't worry a lot of people have fallen for this including some Irish so I'll explain - the myth is the Irish love potatoes so much that they died when the potato crop started failing and the poor Irish didn't have anything else to eat bc all their stock were in their beloved potatoes

The truth is the Irish had other food but the English took it only leaving the Irish with potatoes, the truth is the english had stole all the irish land and rented them back small plots that were only big enough to grow potatoes on, the truth is the corn laws which I don't have time to go into right now, then years later instead of admitting what they did English people make the joke that the Irish just love potatoes which is a very cruel joke if you think about it "Those Irish sure do love potatoes" says the people forcing the Irish to only eat potatoes

Tired is a synonym for BLACK.

Tired of constantly being burden with other people‘s protest- I mean problems.

Working long endless hours that amount to paycheck to paycheck.

Being forced to obey & abide by laws in a system that does not protect Ublack peopleS.

Never having enough yet is always asking for too much.

Sharing a title that ignores Ublack peopleS.

I am not a BIPOC/POC for I will never be able to pass (IYDKIWE) & is consistently aware of what/where YOU think my place is.

We are the loudest voices in the room, that’s never heard.

Our agony, and heartache being held in YOUR mouths at leisure. Helps tear down the fragile strands of humanity left in this world.

We refuse to help you in another fight to only receive a participation awar- sticker.

We the black folk, the skin folk that is my kinfolk are a whole bottle of TIDE.

Yet we never tire of the skin we are in.

Heads up! There is going to be a very long and detailed post about making sausages dropping in a few hours.

It's got a big red content warning and a readmore, so nothing is going to get gruesomely dropped on you, but make sure you add "butchery" or "cw butchery" to your tag filters to be extra safe if the idea of processing animal carcasses is upsetting to you!

It also has an image of sausage casings before they're scraped. I tried to whack the post with as many CWs as I can think of but I'd recommend "cw meat" or "cw organs" if you need them.

it’s bad to make assumptions about someone’s beliefs because of the country they’re from, but you’ve gotta admit it’s a little funny when you see someone being horrifically antisemitic only to find out they’re half german and half russian

I have to wonder how the match up with spain will go, Georgia has a great defense and spain has a hard time putting the ball in the back of the net, especially against good goalies (italy had to help them out). So I honestly think Georgia might stand a real chance

[midnite-drive]

i don’t think i could ever give up drinking. as somebody who has been rejected and humiliated time and time and time again during my attempts to connect to other human beings socially. i found something that actually works. and it works every. single. time. every single time it makes me as outgoing, sociable and approachable as i’ve always wanted to be. how am i supposed to let go of that
