- The first African American to receive a patent was Thomas L. Jennings who invented a method for dry cleaning clothes in 1821. The money he earned from his patent allowed him to liberate his family out of slavery. - The first African American woman to receive a patent was Sarah E. Goode in 1885 for her folding cabinet bed.
