African American Inventor History Project
African American inventor, Joseph Lee (1849 - 1905) invented dough-kneading. His machine was intended for use in large houses or hotels. Lee also patented a machine for making bread crumbs.
Joseph Lee grew up in the food service industry. He worked as a baker, cook, waiter, and hotel manager, to eventually become the owner of two restaurants and his own catering service called the Lee Catering Company. He sold the patent for his bread crumbling machine to the Royal Worcester Bread Crumb Company of Boston.
I could not find a photo of Joseph Lee! But I do have photos of his inventions! This invention as a pully, screws, and a lever.
