George Washington Carver (1860-1943)
Agricultural Scientist
Dr. George Washington Carver was born in 1860 in Diamond, Missouri. When he was 30 he was accepted to Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. Carver was later transferred to Iowa Agricultural College which is now Iowa State University. There he got a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Science degree in bacterial botany and agriculture. Dr. Carver discovered a large amount of products. He discovered three hundred uses for a peanut. Carver died in 1943. He was buried next to Booker T. Washington. The George Washington Carver Monument was dedicated to him at his birth site. This monument was the first to be dedicated to an African American. I chose George Washington Carver because he did a great deal to help southern agriculture and helped chefs around the world dearly.
