Joe Hernandez, NPR ; Google honors the Black inventor who likely inspired the phrase 'the real McCoy'

"Pull up Google on Monday, and you'll see a doodle of a Black man next to a stack of patents, gazing at an old-fashioned train.

That's Elijah McCoy, the revolutionary Black inventor who was born 178 years ago today...

McCoy patented his invention in 1872 and continued to improve on the design."
