Nope. A Black man made the light bulb practical. Lewis Latimer. He also drafted the drawings to help Bell get a patent for the telephone.The UnMuseum - Who Invented the Lightbulb?
An interesting read about the invention of the light bulb. Edison was not the first, but he did invent the first light bulb practical for mass use it seems. Like many of his inventions, he improved on what already existed.
