Lightbulb to Laptop: Latimer’s Legacy Lives
Inventor Lewis Latimer

(BOWIE, MD – October 29, 2024) – Man innovates. Man improves. Man industrializes. Creatures of a revolutionizing habit, Man knows a thing or two about how industrial projects work to unify and empower entire communities. Our law office is honored to be the catalyst for this movement to promote hi-tech industries in our community in honor of legendary inventor Lewis Latimer.  The Latimer laptop/tablet, designed and engineered via the collaboration between the Technology Transactions secretion of Gabriel J. Christian & Associates, LLC, Xelex Group of Maryland, and Practical Technologies, Inc., is the tip of that spear. As the Latimer Laptop holds its soft launch on October 29th, 2024, the company looks towards engendering a culture of innovation grounded in the visionary efforts of its namesake, Lewis Latimer. Though the inventor of the lightbulb’s carbon filament, Latimer’s contribution often lies abandoned—nudged out of view by the world’s short-term memory and the prejudices of the time. Given the communal orientation of this burgeoning venture, Latimer’s glory lies in lending a helping hand to Maryland constituents and inviting its youth onto a brightly lit path to excellence. Man is ingenious, and the Latimer Project endeavors to help Man live up to its full potential.

A collaboration between the Law Offices of Gabriel J. Christian and Associates, the Xelex Group, and Practical Technologies, Inc. (PTI), the Latimer Laptop is the first of many products the Latimer Project hopes to introduce to consumers. While the product was designed and developed in Vietnam, the laptop would be made/assembled by Maryland manufacturers, boosting the local economy. The partnership between the two countries has been fruitful—forming an operation that intends to compete with tech competitors in an international market. This newest 2-in-1 laptop/tablet boasts security and efficiency features that will serve Maryland’s technological needs and the needs of the private and public sectors worldwide. Latimer traveled to London, New York, Philadelphia, and Montreal to oversee the installation of the lightbulbs he designed.  In this global spirit, the Latimer Project debuts its initial product.

Latimer is more than a lightbulb and a laptop. The company’s architects envisioned the Latimer Project as a means for domestic manufacturing to flourish in Maryland and promote all that comes with establishing a staple commodity. The Latimer project company would re-introduce economic vitality to Baltimore and other areas where once steel mills hummed and tobacco plantations thrived.  As the Latimer Project grew. And evolved. It began to hone in on a loftier socioeconomic goal. Latimer Laptops, directed by a community-based vision, would create a vocational pipeline for Maryland youth like never seen before in the United States. While countries like China have a vast network of vocational schools for secondary and higher education, many U.S. public schools are struggling to find answers for their students: where will this education go? The Latimer Project hopes to help create a new model—an extensive career pipeline that reaches the community’s youngest STEM-focused members.

A secure vocational pipeline is possible by partnering with HBCUs and Maryland educational institutions. These efforts will flatten the rocky career landscapes many face when leaving the public school system. Increased STEM opportunities promise Maryland a culture of innovation and serve as an equitable attempt at the American dream. The project plans to revitalize communities suffering from economic inactivity and limited educational resources.

The Latimer Project has observed the uneven access to diverse sectors of our union and wants to take action. This effort is keen on the idea that diversity and inclusivity build strength across all communities and that technology can unite us, not divide us.  The state can raise a new generation of inspired and well-equipped scientists and engineers by bringing in profitable industry with Maryland-based manufacturers. The industry relies on the entire community, from its students and teachers to its manufacturers and executives. It is time Maryland streamlined the system. As always, the future is ripe with possibilities: secondary school educational partnerships, booming innovation in semiconductor technology, and even a Latimer State Festival.

We hope that you follow along the journey of The Latimer Project. If you want to participate in this initiative, please contact us at Gabriel@gclawmd.com. This project is revving to inspire invention and creativity in the STEM field and aims to encourage Maryland to try manufacturing in the future.
