Frederick McKinley Jones' invention of automatic refrigerator equipment helps us in our everyday lives. His invention allows large trucks to transport perishable products without spoiling which helps deliveries to grocery stores, blood banks, and medicines to hospitals. His original design was modified so it could be outfitted for trains, boats, and ships to service other industries. Between 1919 and 1945 he patented more than 60 inventions, 40 of which were in refrigeration. He died in 1961 and in honor of his efforts, he was awarded posthumously with the National Medal of Technology making him the first Black inventor to receive the honor.
