Problem for the NYPD is that both are human rights attorneys...OOPS! But I guess these two were lucky at least they didn't get shot at 50 times. Read entire story by clicking the link below:

Miriam E. Benjamin's Gong & Signal Chair:

Black Inventor, Miriam E. Benjamin Was Awarded A Patent On This Day In 1888 For The Gong And Signal Chair For Hotels.

Using A Rod-Activated Signal, This Chair Was Designed To Summon Waiters To A Patron's Table.  The System  Worked By Pressing A Small Button On The Back Of The Chair Which Would Relay A Signal To A Waiting Attendant. At The Same Time, A Light Would Illuminate On The Chair, Allowing The Attendant To See Which Guest Was In Need Of Assistance.

Benjamin's Innovative Chairs Were Installed In The U.S. House Of Representatives
