The Story of George Washington Carver

---

Born in 1860s Missouri, nobody expected George Washington Carver to succeed. Slaves were not allowed to be educated.

After the Civil War, Carver enrolled in classes and proved to be a star student. He became the first black student at Iowa State Agricultural College and later its first black professor. He went on to the Tuskegee Institute where he specialized in botany (the study of plants) and developed techniques to grow crops better.

His work with vegetables, especially peanuts, made him famous and changed agriculture forever. He went on to develop nearly 100 household products and over 100 recipes using peanuts.


Carver dikenal sebagai seorang penemu, ilmuwan, guru, dan juga pioner di bidang pertanian Amerika Serikat (AS). Hasil penelitiannya yang banyak dikenal adalah berbagai penemuan terhadap kacang sehingga Carver disebut "Manusia Kacang" (Peanut Man). Carver berhasil membuat 300 produk dari kacang, seperti tinta, susu, dan sabun. Sebagian besar hidupnya dihabiskan untuk mengajar ilmu botani kepada murid non-kulit putih di Tuskegee Istitute, Tuskegee, Alabama. Carver juga mengajarkan petani cara menanam tanaman sehat. Ia juga menulis di koran tentang cara menamam, menumbuhkan, dan menggunakan tanaman.
