If you think of the most celebrated historic black people, they are all known as being civil rights leaders or someone that helped black people-- Rosa Parks, MLK, Harriet Tubman, Nelson Mandela.

I'm curious if there are any historic black people known for advancements for all people, such as inventing penicillin, automobile.

Alexandre Dumas, Ben Carson, and Enrique Tarrio off the top of my head.
