George Washington Carver: Genius Behind "The Peanut Man"

Join us for a Zoom presentation to celebrate the life and achievements of George Washington Carver, renowned agricultural scientist, educator, and humanitarian.

Born in Missouri to enslaved parents just two weeks before the Civil War ended, Carver was one of the most prominent black scientists of the 20th century. He developed farming techniques to prevent soil depletion, encouraged poor farmers to grow peanuts and sweet potatoes to improve their quality of life, and was an early promoter of environmentalism.

This presentation is offered in collaboration with the Town of Pelham Public Library and other Westchester Libraries.
