"An invention is an object, process, or technique which displays an element
of novelty"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention
Novelty is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an
objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as
abstract art or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective
perceptions of individuals. It also refers to something novel; that which
is
striking, original or unusual.
Since it exosts in the 'subjective perception of individuals' therefore
invention
can apply to the arts as well as science and technology.
A new kind of music or musical instrument or way of playing the
instrument,
a new kind of drawing, furniture or sculpture etc etc.
When viewed in this broad perspective...there is no shortage of Black
inventors....infact they are countless.
Its after all a 'subjective perception of individuals'
