African American Inventions

By: Vannesa A.
California, Age 12


The Supersoaker is very fun to play with. Lonnie G. Johnson invented it! The Supersoaker is a big water gun. If I invented the Supersoaker I would be so proud and happy to see all the little kids playing with it! That would show me that I invented something that made kids happy. Also I would be happy because I worked so hard to invent something and it turned out to be a big success. This is a great invention!
