THOMAS A. EDISON LECTURE VIA ZOOM
Tuesday, Sept. 26, 7:00pm
Join Edward Sierra for an engaging and informative presentation into the amazing life and work of Thomas A. Edison. Born in 1847 in Ohio, Edison was a husband, a father, and arguably the most prolific inventor in American history. He held 1,093 U.S. patents, including for the light bulb, the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a battery for an electric car. "My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint." This program is sponsored by East End Libraries.
