Hugh Mason Browne was a visionary Black inventor and educator who tackled public health challenges head-on by patenting a device in 1890 to prevent sewer back flow into homes, helping improve urban sanitation and hygiene. He later continued inventing, securing at least one more U.S. patent in 1891 for a fire—or heat—activated alarm system—totaling two patents credited to his name. Through his dual role as inventor and distinguished principal of the Institute for Colored Youth, Browne left a lasting legacy in both engineering and education.
