very good history, sad to say many ideas of blacks were stolen because they were not allowed to have an idea or a thought or a dream. others have profited big off their minds. smh

A very creative family!

I used to use a sanitary belt too back in the day. But the best invention was Always with Wings. Am I right ladies??!!

I remember having to use that starting in 1960 before the adhesive pads were available. I had no idea they weren't around for my mother, I wonder how she managed.
Misredd
I've never heard of Her! Wow?! Thank her and her Family for all of the Great things that they Invented!!!

ProofDervish6, I've always had modern pads but had no idea my grandma had to use a rag and rewash it as that's all there was.. I was informed as a teen how lucky I was

Just heard yesterday that Black Bird by the Beatles was a song about how blacks were treated.

ProofDervish6, Diaper material was favored but rags would do. Hence the saying, “She’s on the rags” .

Thanks for that question. What an interesting family!

Discrimination is about insecurity and ignorance.
maryanto
you might be telling the truth but with wings or without... we should appreciate what was invented
maryanto
it is true ...Blacks are being considered as down trodden beings... has been changed but have to change more

I'm a DC native and never knew this! As a writer and scholar, I'm going to make sure to spread this history. Thanks!!!

Laudy Miss Claudy, 👍
Olly
Ceel- yes, that's what my mother gave me to use when the time came in my early teens. Long, long time ago now though.
annastacia
shell, I have never heard of a sanitary belt either I am quite confused I didn't even realize it was a menstrual thing until I read the comments.
Hollis
Ceel, so true! That’s what my mom had to use. Really disgusting by today’s standards!
Daisy
Laudy Miss Claudy, 🤣
Mrs busybody
Mairead, I didn’t know that. Is that really true?
Jenneh
Player #11556923, unfortunately that was the sad truth. People of color were not allowed to claim the fame they deserved. Many inventions today akin to Caucasian’s are stolen ideas .
Andreas
What a great question topic, amazing hindsight in the answers, role model family !
Ceel
An incredible talented family 😊
Ceel
ProofDervish6, done with safety pins and a clean “cotton rag” (that you would wash) hence the horrible saying “on the rag”. That’s what my Mother had to use.
WDA
sanitary belts, ehhhh, very nice and creative on her part!
Elbie
Laudy Miss Claudy, 🤣

"Racial discrimination prevented its adoption for thirty years" – that's appalling! I hope white people are finally learning to listen to people with black or brown skin. ❤️
Chris RN
LeAnne, God must have a lot of spare time on his hands…..inventing tampons AND ‘Always With Wings.’

What an amazing and talented family
Lisa
I’m from Monroe, NC. It’s still not welcoming to African Americans, I’m afraid.
Clo
Konga Kat (K.M.Beck), yes, it’s called toxic shock syndrome and there is a pamphlet in every box of tampons about it. If you use them, use them safely and responsibly.
Player #92843052
That’s so sad. Her idea was rejected just because of her skin colour::god given intelligence !!! Shame on them
Tee
ProofDervish6, rags/torn sheets. They wash and reused.
Doris
Misredd, Hardly surprising! Women and minorities were often robbed of their rightful place in history
due to discrimination
Martie
Pam, I agree. We should ask GOD to blind everyone for 1 day to help them understand
that color or disabilities don’t matter. It’s what is in your HEART & MIND that matter. We are all the same under the skin AND all have RED blood.
