Discover the inspiring life and legacy of Dr. George Washington Carver, the remarkable American agricultural scientist, educator, and inventor often hailed by Time magazine as the “Black Leonardo.” Known as the “plant doctor” in his youth and later celebrated as the “peanut man,” Dr. Carver’s innovations transformed agriculture and improved countless lives. This presentation will highlight his groundbreaking work and inventions, complemented by a reading of original prose from the presenter—who shares a unique personal connection through a mentor, one of Dr. Carver’s own students, who taught her the art of beekeeping at the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University).
