The Legacy of George Washington Carver

George Washington Carver, better known as the Peanut Man, was the inventor responsible for redeveloping the southern crop industry after the Civil War. His discoveries with plantings of peanuts, sweet potato, and soy beans changed the southern crop industry. Carver’s ideas influenced farmers both here at home and countries abroad for many years. He was a man of strong religious beliefs and of great tenacity. In this PSP program, participants will gain a deeper understanding of Carver’s will, determination, and innovation.
