last game of Patterson's first year and 

was starting quarterback the next season, 

also becoming the first Big Black Man 

to score a defensive touchdown for the 

school, and was active in Student 

government, while being the business 

manager of the university's student 

newspaper, The Lantern, so after college, 

he went back home to work at the family's 

buggy-making factory where he then 

retooled it to fix and make cars!...the 

first Black Automotive Production 

Company in the U. S. made the 

Patterson-Greenfield Automobile, and
