He Led The Way
He Led the Way The Black Innovator that I am most Inspired by I George Washington Carver. He is responsible for giving modern humans things like soap and Sweet Potatoes and he created them in a time where people of color where still being oppressed and where still hated by the rest of country. While these accomplishments seem meaningless to most, they are very meaningful given the time that Mr. Carver created or discover them. As an American White Male, I have always been intrigued by the accomplishments of Mr. carver. I genuinely believe that given the time that we were a scientist and inventor his accomplishments should be more revered than anyone else in his field at the time given the diversities and hatred that where still festering in our great country. He was after all the first African American to receive a Batchlor of Science Degree in the year 1894 so I guess he truly did lead the way. I mean he impressed his professors so much he was asked to say and earn his master's degree all based on his studies of Fungal Infractions in Soybeans Really how Epic is that. He even negated into his contract to be a Professor at Tuskegee university an All-Black Agricultural School that had to be ran soy by him. According to the History Chanel website George Washington Carver invented over 300 food,indestural,and commercial products from peanuts. Some of these inventions are Milk, Worcestershire sauce, punches, and cooking oils, also products like wood stain, Cosmetics, Soaps and Salad Oil. Who as well as much more. Who would have ever thought that a nut that is the case of widespread allergy today would be so useful in paving the way for some of the great products we have today? So much so that in 1921 George Washington Carver on behalf of the Peanut industry went before the ways and means committee of the US House of Represent ivies and was give tariff protection this milestone is what earned him the nick name “The Peanut Man”.
