STEAMFUNK MAD SCIENTISTS & MECHANICS: Black Inventors of the Steam Age!
Every month, I will feature members of the League of Extraordinary Black People who fit specific Steampunk Archetypes.
This month, I feature the Mad Scientists / Inventors and Mechanics / Tinkerers.
As always, your feedback is welcomed and encouraged.
