"A Black Dentist Invented the Golf Tee—Then Was Forgotten" Dr. George Grant, Harvard's first Black professor and son of an escaped slave, patented the first golf tee in 1899. He gave them away for free. A decade later, a white dentist copied it and made a fortune. Every golfer owes him—most never knew his name. #DrGeorgeGrant, #GolfTee, #BlackHistory, #HiddenHistory, #Harvard, #BlackInventors, #Golf, #PGA, #StolenInventions, #1899, #Boston, #FranklinPark, #UntoldStories, #HistoryMatters, #BlackE
