Black History Month Spotlight
Alexander Miles
Before Alexander Miles invented a system for elevator doors to open and close automatically, it was up to people—either the riders themselves or an operator—to make sure the car and shaft doors were secure. And guess what? People would forget, and accidents ensued.
Miles saw the potential for danger when riding in an elevator with his young daughter, so he devised a system wherein an elevator’s doors could open and close on their own, eliminating the hazard of human error. His design made it so the cage of the elevator car would trigger a mechanism that would close the door to the shaft on its own.
And, after moving to Chicago in 1899, he founded The United Brotherhood, a life insurance company that catered to an African-American population that wasn’t always guaranteed coverage by other companies in the market.
