Dr. George Washington Carver spoke in West Point, Georgia, in March of 1938. According to Encyclopedia Brittanica, “George Washington Carver was an American agricultural chemist, agronomist, and experimenter whose development of new products derived from peanuts, sweet potatoes, and soybeans helped revolutionize the agricultural economy of the South. Born into slavery, Carver was the son of an enslaved woman named Mary, owned by Moses Carver. He obtained a high-school education in Kansas while working as a farmhand and later earned a bachelor's and master's degree in agricultural science from Iowa State Agricultural College. Carver's work, which began for the sake of poor Black sharecroppers, led to a better life for the entire South by liberating it from its environmentally destructive dependence on cotton. He was a revolutionary American agricultural chemist, agronomist, and experimenter who was born into slavery and sought to uplift Black farmers through the development of new products derived from peanuts, sweet potatoes, and soybeans.”
