Overview
All her life, Bessie Blount was told no. But Bessie told herself: TRY ANYWAY.
When a teacher said she couldn’t write with her left hand, Bessie taught herself to be right-handed. When she couldn’t get the education she wanted because she was Black, Bessie studied very hard on her own and became a nurse. And when her patients—injured World War II soldiers—couldn’t feed themselves, Bessie invented a device to assist them. Bessie always did what she wanted to do, and her determination allowed her to help others in so many ways. She blazed a trail all the way from her one-room schoolhouse to Scotland Yard and beyond!
From noted STEMinist Afua Bruce and Coretta Scott King Honor award-winning artist Laura Freeman comes the inspiring true story of Bessie Blount, an extraordinary inventor.
