Both makes are from the far east (Korea and China) Ultimately they are both in roughly the same price bracket as each other but Kentucky have a larger range of lower end instruments.
Morgan Monroe have a more interesting range of finishes than Kentucky, with rustic and Matt finishes as well as the glossy sunburst models which Kentucky produce. I have a Morgan Monroe MMR -2L left handed F style in a Matt chocolate finish. The finish is unusual - I've seen better - but the build quality is accurate and solid. The main thing is the sound - it is superb - well balanced across the strings, resonant and open. It is a match for an Eastman I had previously which was more expensive.
Ultimately these two makes are direct rivals, but Kentucky are more established as a maker. Play a few of each and take it from there and buy which one sounds best to you, as it is likely you would find an MM better than a Kentucky and vice versa.

Who was the first African American Inventor?
Garrett Augustus Morgan, Sr is a African American Inventor.See read this. Or go on this website and yes it does work http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/gama/gamlife.htmGarrett Augustus Morgan, Sr. was an American inventor whose curiosity and innovation led him to develop several commercial products, the successors of which are still in use today. A practical man of humble beginnings, Morgan devoted his life to creating items that made the lives of common people safer and more convenient.Among his creations was the three-position traffic signal, a traffic management device that greatly improved safety along America's streets and roadways. Morgan's technology was the basis for the modern-day traffic signal and was a significant contribution to development of what we now know as Intelligent Transportation Systems.The Inventor's Early LifeGarrett Augustus Morgan, Sr. was born in Paris, Kentucky on March 4, 1877. His parents were former slaves. Morgan spent his early childhood attending school and working with his brothers and sisters on the family farm. He left Kentucky while still a teenager, moving north to Cincinnati, Ohio in search of employment. An industrious youth, Morgan spent most of his adolescence working as a handyman for a wealthy Cincinnati land-owner. Similar to many African Americans of his generation, whose circumstances compelled them to begin working at an early age, Morgan's formal education ended after elementary school. Eager to expand his knowledge, however, the precocious teenager hired a tutor and continued his studies in English grammar while living in Cincinnati.In 1895, Morgan moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he worked as a sewing machine repairman for a clothing manufacturer. Experimenting with gadgets and materials to discover better ways of performing his trade became Morgan's passion. News of his proficiency for fixing things traveled fast and led to numerous job opportunities with various manufacturing firms throughout the Cleveland area.Morgan opened his own sewing equipment and repair shop in 1907. It was the first of several businesses he would start. In 1909, he expanded the enterprise to include a tailoring shop which retained 32 employees. The new company made coats, suits, and dresses, all sewn with equipment the budding inventor had made himself.In 1920 Morgan started the Cleveland Call newspaper. As the years progressed, he became a prosperous and widely respected businessman. His prosperity enabled him to purchase a home and an automobile. Morgan's experiences driving through the streets of Cleveland are what led him to invent the nation's first patented three-position traffic signal.The Three-Position Traffic SignalThe first American-made automobiles were introduced to U.S. consumers shortly before the turn of the century. Ford Motor Company was founded in 1903 and with it American consumers began to discover the What's Ahead of the open road. At that time, it was not uncommon for bicycles, animal-powered carts and motor vehicles to share the same thoroughfares with pedestrians. Accidents frequently occurred between the vehicles. After witnessing a collision between an automobile and a horse-drawn carriage, Morgan was convinced that something should be done to improve traffic safety.While other inventors are reported to have experimented and even marketed their own three-position traffic signals, Garrett A. Morgan was the first to apply for and acquire a U.S. patent for such a device. The patent was granted on November 20, 1923. Morgan later had the technology patented in Great Britain and Canada as well.Prior to Morgan's invention, most of the traffic signals in use featured only two-positions: Stop and Go. Manually operated, these two-position traffic signals were an improvement over no signal at all, but because they allowed no interval between the Stop and Go commands, collisions at busy intersections were common during the transition moving from one street to the other.Another problem with the two-position traffic signals was the susceptibility to human error. Operator fatigue invariably resulted in erratic timing of the Stop and Go command changes, which confused both drivers and pedestrians. At night, when traffic officers were off duty, motorists frequently ignored the signals altogether.The Morgan traffic signal was a T-shaped pole unit that featured three positions: Stop, Go and an all-directional stop position. The third position halted traffic in all directions before it allowed travel to resume on either of the intersection's perpendicular roads. This feature not only made it safer for motorists to pass through intersections, but also allowed pedestrians to cross more safety.At night, or at other times when traffic was minimal, the Morgan signal could be positioned in a half-mast posture, alerting approaching motorists to proceed through the intersection with caution. The half-mast position had the same signaling effect as the flashing red and yellow lights of today's traffic signals.Morgan's traffic management technology was used throughout North America until it was replaced by the red, yellow and green-light traffic signals currently used around the world. The inventor eventually sold the rights to his traffic signal to the General Electric Corporation for $40,000. Shortly before his death in 1963, Morgan was awarded a citation for the traffic signal by the U.S. Government.Other Morgan InventionsGarrett Morgan was constantly experimenting with new ideas. Though the traffic signal came at the height of his career and became one of his most renowned inventions, it was just one of several items he developed, manufactured, and sold over the years. One day, while tinkering in his workshop, Morgan accidentally discovered that some of the chemicals used in his sewing machine repair business also relaxed the tight curl pattern of kinky hair. To market his new discovery, he started the G.A. Morgan Hair Refining Company in 1913. Later, he created both a hair dying ointment and a curved-tooth pressing comb. The new company manufactured and sold these items as well as the hair processing cream. Morgan also invented a zig-zag stitching attachment for manually operated sewing machines and a self-extinguishing cigarette filter.Schematic for the "breathing helmet."Another Significant Contribution to Public SafetyIn 1912, Morgan received a patent on a Safety Hood and Smoke Protector. Two years later, a refined model of this early gas mask won a gold medal at the International Exposition of Sanitation and Safety, and another gold medal from the International Association of Fire Chiefs. On July 15, 1916, Morgan made national news for using his gas mask to rescue several men trapped during an explosion in an underground tunnel beneath Lake Erie. Following the rescue, Morgan's company was bombarded with requests from fire departments around the country that wished to purchase the new life-saving masks. The Morgan gas mask was later refined for use by U.S. soldiers during World War I.As word spread across North America and England about Morgan's life-saving inventions, such as the gas mask and the traffic signal, demand for these products grew far beyond his home town. He was frequently invited to conventions and public exhibitions around the country to show how his inventions worked.Fighting PrejudiceMorgan came of age at a time when the United States was struggling to rid itself of the institutionalized racism which remained even after slavery was abolished in 1863. Described by those who knew him as a gentle and devoted family man who enjoyed the outdoors and was a model of self-discipline, Morgan also was a man who disdained discrimination. He had contempt for people who thought they were better than others, either because of social standing or color. Though Morgan's inventions and entrepreneurship afforded him a level of prestige, wealth and respect denied to many of his black contemporaries, he too experienced prejudice.Morgan's commitment to fighting racial prejudice was demonstrated by his membership and service as an officer in the Cleveland Association of Colored Men. He was actively involved in that organization from 1914 until it merged with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Morgan remained a member of the NAACP until his death at the age of 86, on August 27, 1963.Garrett Augustus Morgan, Sr is a African American Inventor.See read this.
