Sarah Goode — Inventor, First African American Woman to receive a US Patent

This week, Chloe brings us the story of Sarah Goode: Born into slavery, she thrived after Emancipation, moving to Chicago and starting her own furniture business. Upon receiving complaints from customers that their apartments were too small to fit their beds into, she invented a solution.

EDITOR'S NOTE: In the podcast, Chloe mistakenly says that it is unknown what happened to Sarah Goode. In truth, she died in Chicago in 1905 at the age of 50.
