Did they not mention George Washington Carver? Guy was pretty interesting as a thinker/inventor. Basically invented modern crop rotations and advanced farming methods iirc. Helped revolutionize the farming process.
Was the issue him not being a big pharma shill or what lol
You can't have a black farmer be famous for farming! That's just a step away from being a slave! Somehow.
Seriously, GWC was a pretty cool dude. It's frustrating that people remember him as "The Peanut Butter Guy" when that's not even one of his inventions.

It's nothing big or life-changing, but they could have also used Lonnie Johnson, inventor of the Super Soaker.
