Born in 1860s Missouri, nobody expected George Washington Carver to
succeed. Slaves were not allowed to be educated. After the Civil
War, Carver enrolled in classes and proved to be a star student. He
became the first black student at Iowa State Agricultural College
and later its first black professor. He went on to the Tuskegee
Institute, where he specialised in botany (the study of plants) and
developed techniques to grow crops better. His work with
vegetables, especially peanuts, made him famous and changed
agriculture forever. He went on to develop nearly 100 household
products and over 100 recipes using peanuts.
