Grade 6 · Five day interdisciplinary RST
Sylvanus Batis Bracy
He Was History. His Story Must Be Told.
Sylvanus Batis Bracy graduated with high honors from Howard University in the Class of 1950 after military service interrupted his studies. He persevered through racial discrimination and built a 35-year engineering career at Fort Monmouth in New Jersey, including 22 military patents and contributions to helicopter autopilot technology.
Among his inventions was the Facsimile Recorder Computer, United States Patent 2,775,756, granted December 25, 1956, with fellow inventors Paul M. Levy and Rocco L. Sarlo. The illustrated biography honors his education, inventions, public service, and life with Rebecca E. Bracy, his wife of 55 years.
This Grade 6 interdisciplinary RST connects his life and work with history, geography, mathematics, science, and evidence-based writing.
