For the Flushing community, the Latimer Legacy Lecture Series: African American Inventors is more than just an event—it's a celebration of local heritage. Hosted at the Lewis Howard Latimer House Museum, this workshop connects residents to a rich history rooted right in our neighborhood. Flushing’s own Latimer was a trailblazer, and this lecture highlights that legacy while also bringing awareness to other African American inventors who changed the course of U.S. history. The museum’s warm, historic environment fosters community pride and encourages conversations about science, innovation, and equity. Supporting this event means honoring our past and inspiring future generations—Flushing, let's shine together!
