George Washington Carver established an agriculture extension in Alabama and founded an industrial research lab. He also discovered more than 300 uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. George Washington Carver inspired me because of his connection with peanuts, being a peanut lover myself. Although born a slave, he became a prominent agricultural scientist, educator, and humanitarian. His work focused on helping farmers, especially African-Americans, achieve self-reliance through practical education and innovative agricultural research. Carvers legacy exemplifies resilience, determination, and the power of science to bring about positive change.
