#RufusPTurner was a #polymath and a frigging #genius at a time #whitefolks were #lynching people like him--us.

"At age 17 he wrote the first of his nearly 3,000 articles, mostly having to do with radio electronics"

"With 40 books on #radio #electronics to his credit[...]Turner, who also wrote #books on #technicalwriting"

You'd think that he'd get his due in the #engineering community. If anyone is aware of a #autobiography or #biography post it now!
