DESCRIPTION:

George Washington Carver was one of the most influential scientists of the early 20th century. He pioneered crop rotation and several food products we use today, including sweet potatoes, peanuts, and soybeans. He discovered alternative uses for various products and established the Agricultural Studies program at Tuskegee Institute.

Born into slavery during the waning days of the US Civil War, Carver found his way to Iowa. Here, with the help of others who recognized his talent and potential, he attended university. In 1894, Carver became the first African American to earn a Bachelor of Science degree. Due to his extra research on fungi and their impact on crops, benefactors convinced him to pursue a graduate degree in agriculture, which he completed in 1896.

Carver's work touches on multiple aspects of agricultural products and processes. A staunch supporter of education and civil rights. Carver died from a fall on January 5, 1943.

Carver Day is a testament to his contributions and a celebration of his life.
