Thomas L. Jennings, an African American inventor and abolitionist, did not have formal education due to the restrictions placed on African Americans during his time. However, he was self-taught and became a skilled tailor. Jennings went on to invent a dry-cleaning process and became the first African American to receive a patent in the United States in 1821. His contributions to the dry-cleaning industry and his advocacy for civil rights have left a lasting impact on American history.
