Thank you, George Washington Carver.
Funny how blacks who actually make real contributions never seem to get mentioned during “Black History Month.”
Never seem to get streets named after them, either.
GWC has a math building named after him on the campus of Iowa State University, his alma mater.
I did my one and only “Black History Month” report on George Washington Carver many, many years ago.
He was an amazing person.
I was told years late, by a friend who was pretty much a liberal with sanity that in many countries there are statues of Carver, because he contributed so much to people NOT STARVING TO DEATH, but here he’s overlooked, because he didn’t toe the racial grievance line.
What about Orenthal?
That’s true. He actually prayed to God to show him what to do with the peanut.
You do know that he had nothing to do with peanut butter, right?
Canadian Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Montreal, Quebec was the first to patent peanut butter, in 1884.
