Solomon Harper (born in Poplar Grove, Arkansas, on August 8, 1893[3]) was an inventor[4] known for creating the first electrically heated hair roller[5][6][2][7] and 28 other inventions. During the course of his career, he struggled to receive recognition and compensation for his inventions.[8] Harper was trained as an electrical engineer[9] and was a veteran. He was a politically active communist, and organized at least one march to picket the White House about unemployment in 1930.[10]
