" "Celebrating Over 25 years of Black Ingenuity
Our mission is to develop racial pride, promote racial understanding, and provide a new motivation for learning.BIE is for everyone—all age groups and ethnicities. The museum graciously compliments all science and American history curricula while promoting positive images in those who seek to learn about the discoveries and challenges of those great men and women.
Whatever the mind can conceive, the mind achieves. Our goal is to continue to find ways to inspire and motivate young people to believe in and achieve their dreams. We recognize and understand that racism has culturally deprived our youth. We also know that once our youth know better, ultimately they will do better. Highlighting achievements in history that are normally taught in school is the key to their success. Utilizing examples of people making extraordinary contributions to the world gives students the inspiration that is needed.
Over 175 authentic artifacts are represented in the collection and include patent designs, personal letters, rare photographs, and brief biographies of black inventors. Also featured are motivational placards and video documentaries. The museum was founded over 25 years ago in Western Massachusetts After years of presenting in New England, BIE went national, appearing at various venues throughout North America. Some of the locales include cultural expos, professional conventions, and educational conferences. Colleges, learning institutions, and community organizations are among the most significant places showcased. BiE has traveled internationally to the Middle East and the Caribbean and has plans to travel to Canada and Africa in the future.
I first saw the Black Inventions Exhibit in NYC a few years ago. I was impressed by its quality and the importance of its mission to promote positive images of African Americans and increase public appreciation for considerable accomplishments "

'In today's world, a lack of knowledge and understanding of history puts an individual at a distinct disadvantage. The Black Inventions Exhibit is doing a great job of inspiring students to be successful. I thank the president of Bryant College for allowing me to witness this exhibit of greatness."
