When I was a child, I loved reading biographies - the kind in the kids’ section of the library - think 1950’s to early 60’s era.

George Washington Carver was a hero to me. I read every book about him I could find. If anyone knows any more detailed biographies I’d appreciate know about them.

He was a lifelong batchelor, very religious, was an artist, made his own paints from natural minerals, was an accomplished crafter in other ways, loved plants and instively knew their needs from a small child, supported himself even a child of around 10 years old. He was absolutely amazing.

Black History Month Should Be About Black History

Why should their be a "black history" month at all? Havent seen a "white" history month anywhere. The only thing I ever hear during BHM is how evil da white man be. Is that the essence of black history? Hell last year during BHM some idiot said blacks were the ones who built the pyramids..that Cleopatra was black...lmao. Does black history consist of nothing but lies...not much of a history if you ask me.
