During a Thursday meeting with Kenosha, Wis., community leaders, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said that a Black man, rather than Thomas Edison, invented the light bulb. A Black man invented the light bulb, not a White guy named Edison," Biden said. It was Edison who first invented the light bulb and a filament that could last 1,200 hours. But he was not the original inventor of the light bulb. Biden's visit to Kenosha came after a police officer shot a Black man in the back, leaving him paralyzed, last month.
