  • Patricia Bath is the FIRST person to invent and demonstrate laserphaco cataract surgery. "Sometimes even now when I’m told I was a “first,” it comes as a surprise, because it’s only through history that you understand that kind of thing."

    What a jagged image we use for women who achieve greatly, defining accomplishment in terms of the barrier rather than the triumph. There she is up where the air is thin, where men still outnumber women, but where the altitude is awesome. Our goal with Firsts is for every woman and girl to find someone whose presence in the highest reaches of success says to her that it is safe to climb, come on up, the view is spectacular.

      @@rae5910 that's great, children are basically taught a "whiteworld" view. Where white people did everything and this leaves grown adults, who don't know know or have any idea if the contributions that Blacks make to this society. This leads to ignorance and racism.... Good job, keep teaching this kind of material.

    Amazing woman. Always way ahead of her time. I was her personal secretary for 4 years. So glad she is part of Black History now. She definitely deserves to be there. Interesting that it doesn't always matter how brilliant you are or how accomplished, someone will not like that brilliance and will want to suppress any idea that someone got there first before them. So very important to realize the politics of standing out and standing up.
    One of the messages given to me in school was: "The tallest trees always get hit by lightning." LOL So try not to shine. Stay in yo place. Don't excel ahead of others. Patricia Bath did just the opposite! Well done.

      Sean Blake Hi, I'm not sure if I would like to be on board with your comment (though it's been at least a year since you wrote it) and other comments like it because from what it sounds like you're saying that race sex and other traits that people don't get to choose about themselves should be overlooked, but wouldn't that imply that something is WRONG with those traits if you feel the need to "ignore" them? Truth be told you really can't overlook those things about people, most people come into the world looking a certain way and belonging to either sex, so that means no matter what it'll always be obvious that I'm black and female which I don't consider a problem, should I? I would rather not answer that, LOL! Goodbye!

    I'm in tears. What an inspiration to females all over the globe. Her colleague's disbelief was his ego talking. No man back in the day, ever wanted a female to outshine him. Her inventing laserphaco cataract surgery was a major ego deflation to her male colleagues. Then add in her being from the Melananted Nation .... It's minimize, deny and gaslighting time. Love when she said that she never doubted her accomplishment. 😍😍

    People really don't understand how important and inspiring black inventors and innovators are for black children and black people in general, black history month needs to shine more light on inventors, entrepenuers, philosophers and innovators Martin Luther King is a good role model but he's not the only black man to have ever done anything. Thank God for the few documentaries of black inventors, America would have you believe we haven't contributed to society, for some reason the world needs to believe we're are lazy.

    Why do they use the word "first"... Why because she's black? And is she really the first to invent something. Obviously not. It seems in a racist society, inventors, pioneers, creator, innovators are almost always recognized and esteemed without taking they're race into consideration when they are white. They're remembered as "America" inventors, pioneers, etc but when these remarkable men/women are not white they become invisible or at best they're ideas, inventions etc are put into a specific category. You see that in the New York Times best sellers list...the list is almost exclusively and entirely white. Black writers are not recognized as great "American" writers but as "black" writers and therefore, there becomes a place for them and their work--- a place of lesser importance, lesser significance and notoriety. For heaven sake, give this woman the credit she deserves as great "American" inventor. For once, take a break from the endless racist bull crap.
