This photograph, which first appeared in the Cleveland News on July 25, 1916, shows Garrett Morgan helping one of the rescuers that he rescued from the west side waterworks tunnel. This was one of only a few articles or photographs appearing in Cleveland newspapers following the tunnel disaster that gave any credit to Morgan, an African American, for his inventiveness and bravery on July 25. | Creator: Cleveland News | Date: 25 July 1916 | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
