Garrett Morgan was an inventor and successful businessman. Many of his inventions helped to improve public safety. These included an early form of a gas mask and a type of traffic signal.

Garrett Augustus Morgan was born on March 4, 1877, in Paris, Kentucky. His parents were freed enslaved people. Morgan left home in his teens. He moved first to Cincinnati and then to Cleveland, Ohio, where he found work repairing sewing machines. That work gave him an interest in how machines work. He later opened his own sewing equipment and repair shop. When that became successful he opened other businesses as well.

While Morgan was running his businesses he was also working on inventions. In 1914 he patented a device that he called the Morgan safety hood and smoke protector. A patent is an official document that gives an inventor control over who may use their invention. The safety hood was an early gas mask. A gas mask allows people to breathe in situations where there is a lot of smoke or dangerous chemicals in the air. In 1923 Morgan patented another safety invention. This was a T-shaped traffic signal. It had moving arms that told traffic when to stop and go. It was not the first traffic signal, but it controlled traffic better than many existing signals.

Morgan was also interested in helping his fellow African Americans. He started a newspaper to discuss issues of interest to African Americans. He was also a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Morgan died on July 27, 1963, in Cleveland.
