In this powerful episode of The Forbidden Frequency, we dive into the electrifying story of Granville T. Woods, a self-taught Black inventor who revolutionized the way we move and communicate. From the rattle of 19th-century railroads to the early sparks of electric innovation, Woods engineered solutions that shaped the modern world—yet history nearly erased his name.

Through vivid storytelling and a solo-host narrative, we trace his journey from a ten-year-old boy forced out of school to a visionary who took on Thomas Edison—and won. With over 60 patents to his name, including the induction telegraph and early third-rail systems, Woods not only transformed American infrastructure, he defied the odds stacked against him as a Black innovator in post-Civil War America.

Tune in to hear how one man’s genius resonated across steel tracks and into the future—and why his legacy deserves to be remembered.
