​Our History Thomas Jennings was the first African-American aka Black Person to own a patent in the United States.  His invention was the "dry-scouring" method of cleaning garments - the precursor to today's dry cleaning.  He was born a free man in New York State and used his considerable earnings toward the fight and abolishment of slavery.  We proudly carry on his legacy of innovation, courage, commitment and education.
