George Washington Carver

George Washington Carver was born into slavery during the civil war. He grew up to become a botanist, agricultural scientist and chemist.

He paved the way for farming and agriculture in the south. He helped the south to get away from only farming cotton and learning to farm many other crops that were useful for different things.

He is best known for the many uses he devised for the peanut crop and many other plants. Carver’s inventions included over 100 products using the Southern Peanut crop and he was famously known as the peanut man.

Carver was a scientific expert on plants and considered a plant doctor. This made him one of the most famous African Americans and intellectual of his time. He is a great scientist and inventor to study during Black History Month. 

He was also the founder and president of the Tuskegee Institute where he helped others to get a formal education.

President Theodore Roosevelt admired his work so much that he sought his advice on agricultural matters in the United States. He was invited to dine at the White House which was unheard of at that time in history.
