Charles B. Brooks Life story
Charles B. Brooks was an African-American inventor. Born in Virginia in 1865, by the 1890s he was a resident of Newark, New Jersey. Besides inventing, Brooks was a porter for the Pullman Palace Car Company. Unlike other sweepers at that time, Brooks' sweeper was the first self-propelled street sweeping truck.
