' Fair Park is filled with the accomplishments of African American Pioneers in science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
"Most of these people were left out of the history books," African American Museum Curator of Education Robert Edison said."This is why we like to showcase what we call missing parts of American history.""Black people were stigmatized because of their color and placed in a bag of inferiority," Edison said"These contributions dispel that myth of their inferiority.
The inventions and improvements include the gas mask, the Super Soaker, and the guitar as we know it today. "Everyone is surprised to see Michael Jackson," Edison said. The King of Pop patented the technology for his gravity-defying shoes."Hook them onto the floor and do his lean."
