George Washington Carver is one of the most incredible human beings to have ever lived!  Dr. Carver's level of genius and achievement is on a par with Leonardo da Vinci.

When Booker T. Washington, founder of the Tuskegee Institute, a Black University in Alabama, wrote a letter inviting Carver to build an agriculture department there, Carver accepted the job.  In his letter of acceptance, he wrote: 

"It has always been the one great ideal of my life to be the greatest good to the greatest number of 'my people' possible, and to this end I have been preparing myself these many years; feeling as I do that this line of education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom to our people."
