The history of modern technology is incomplete – because it has been whitewashed.
Every time you turn on a computer, stream a video, or use a smartphone, you are benefiting from the genius of Black innovators whose names have been hidden or erased.
In The UnWhitewashed Truth: We Wouldn’t Have Home Computers Without Black Ingenuity, historian and educator Maurice Woodson exposes the lies of traditional tech history and shines a light on the Black pioneers who made the digital age possible.
Mark Dean – co-creator of the IBM PC.
Jerry Lawson – inventor of the video game cartridge.
Katherine Johnson & Evelyn Boyd Granville – NASA mathematicians who powered the Space Race.
Philip Emeagwali – father of parallel computing.
Lisa Gelobter – architect of streaming and web animation.
John Henry Thompson – creator of the Lingo programming language.
And many more…
This is not a story of “hidden figures.” It is a story of central figures – innovators who changed the world despite racism, sexism, and systemic erasure.
If you want the truth about technology – unfiltered and unwhitewashed – this book is essential reading.
