This week’s Black History moment spotlights Lonnie Johnson—the inventor of the Super Soaker. Johnson’s toy would revolutionize the toy industry with a whole new category of play like Barbie and G.I. Joe did when they first entered the toy market. By 1998, Super Soakers were the top-selling summer toy in the world, with sales over $200 million. They’ve since grossed over a billion dollars.
