Good Morning #Canada
Happy Birthday to "The Real McCoy," Elijah J. McCoy born on this day in 1844 . McCoy was a Canadian-American engineer whose parents were slaves in Kentucky but escaped to Ontario. McCoy invented an important lubrication system for steam engines that was copied by competitors, but railroads insisted on the real thing.
