Born into slavery during the Civil War, George Washington Carver rose to become one of America’s most influential scientists, educators, and humanitarian innovators. After earning degrees in agricultural science from Iowa State University, he was invited by Booker T. Washington in 1896 to lead the Department of Agricultural Instruction at Tuskegee Institute. There, Carver advanced sustainable farming practices, crop diversification, and rural education through initiatives like the Jesup Agricultural Wagon and his Carver Bulletins. His groundbreaking research and lifelong dedication to service continue to inspire through the George Washington Carver Research Center at Tuskegee University.
