On May 4th in Black history:

1891 – Dr. Daniel Hale Williams founded the Provident Hospital and Training School.

In 1889, Emma Reynolds, a young woman who aspired to be a nurse, was denied admission by each of Chicago’s nursing schools on the grounds that she was black. Her brother, the Reverend Louis Reynolds, pastor of St. Stephen’s African Methodist Episcopal Church, approached the respected black surgeon, Dr. Daniel Hale Williams for help. Unable to influence the existing schools, they decided to launch a new nursing school for black women.

In 1890, Dr. Williams consulted with a group of black ministers, physicians and businessmen to explore establishing a nurse-training facility and hospital. There were only a few black physicians in Chicago at this time, and all had limited or no hospital privileges. The community leaders assured him of their support and energetic fund-raising began.

1893 – Cowboy Bill Pickett earns his title as inventor of “bull dogging”.

1897 – J.W. Smith patents lawn sprinklers.

We don’t think about it much today, but innovation, invention and creation is in our blood. Lawn sprinklers have proven over the course of more than a century to be an invaluable addition for home and property owners around the world.
