In this powerful episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, host Glenn P. Clinger III peels back the curtain on some of the greatest minds history almost forgot. From Mary Anderson, the woman who invented the windshield wiper but never earned a dime, to Lewis Latimer, the true light behind Edison’s bulb, and Jerry Lawson, the pioneer who made video games what they are today — these are the unsung heroes whose ideas shaped the modern world… only to have their names erased or stolen.
Was it ignorance, racism, sexism… or something more deliberate?
These aren't just stories of invention — they're stories of injustice. Of genius left in the shadows. And of a truth that demands to be told.
Because sometimes, the mystery isn’t who did it…
It’s who didn’t get the credit.
🎧 Tune in and prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about innovation.
