Black History Minute Monday: George Washingnton Carver & Other African American Inventors

Growing up in my house, Black History Month was a huge deal. My father inundated me with information about the great African Amerian inventors of yesteryear and all the everyday inventions I barely noticed that had been invented by them. George Washington Carver (1864-1943) was just such an inventor. An agricultural chemist, he created hundreds upon hundreds of uses for peanuts and soybeans.
