Black Inventors Who Changed The World: Marie And Albert Brown
A full-time nurse, she spent long hours away from home and was concerned about break-ins.
Marie Van Brittan Brown and her husband Albert wanted to be safe. Their careers kept them away from home, especially with Marie working odd hours at the hospital. They put their heads together and devised a plan that would earn them a patent for the first home security system.
