T. Thomas Fortune and Peggy Scott in “Unfinished Business”

What are your thoughts on electricity?

Peggy Scott

Are you talking about Mr. Edison's lights?

Mr. Edison is not solely responsible.

Peggy Scott

Who else was involved?

Namely, Lewis Latimer, a colored inventor. He created a better carbon filament. That's the thing in the bulb that helps keep the lights on, so to speak.

Peggy Scott

Well, I'm sure that Mr. Edison will give Mr. Latimer his due credit at the ceremony.

[laughs] I admire your wit, Miss Scott.
