Most people search high and wide for the keys to success. If they only knew, the key to their dreams lies within -- George Washington Carver

George Washington Carver (c. 1864 – January 5, 1943) was a botanical researcher and agronomy educator who worked in agricultural extension at the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama, teaching former slaves farming techniques for self-sufficiency.

To bring education to farmers, Carver designed a mobile school. It was called a Jesup Wagon after the New York financier, Morris Ketchum Jesup, who provided funding. [1] In 1921, Carver spoke in favor of a peanut tariff before the House Ways and Means Committee. Given racial segregation and racial discrimination of the time, it was unusual for an African-American to be called as an expert. Carver's well-received testimony earned him national attention, and he became an unofficial spokesman for the peanut industry. Carver wrote 44 practical agricultural bulletins for farmers.
