George Washington Carver, America's Great Scientist
George Washington Carver, America's Great Scientist - Today we explore in depth one of the greatest scientific minds in the whole of human history and the man whose deep research is credited with saving Southern Agriculture. George was born enslaved, kidnapped by slave raiders as a small child, lost his biological family and was adopted by his former enslaver. Passing a number of hurdles he was educated far beyond that allowed for Blacks during the Reconstruction. After becoming a graduate of Iowa State University and a professor there, he was enticed to join Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Alabama, to create one of the most dynamic and productive HBCU experiences in U.S. history. Running his own independent laboratory at Tuskegee Dr. Carver's visionary invention pioneered extensive studies in soil ecology, crop rotation, growing superfoods, dye making, and landmark research using peanuts, soybeans and sweet potatoes. His renown eventually brought him to the attention of auto manufacturing magnate Henry Ford whom he joined in the last years of his life. Carver's work could revitalize our economy today. (LIBMP3905)

Original Carver Museum

Resting in front of the The George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center (and the adjacent Carver Library) sits a small yellow brick building. This edifice is the original site of the former George Washington Carver Library building. The branch originally started out in a small, wood-frame building constructed in 1926 on the corner of Ninth and Guadalupe Streets.
In 1928, the City Council's Masterplan formally codified residential segregation on the basis of race. A couple years later member of the African American East Side community petitioned for a local library. So in 1933, when a larger stone structure was built as the new main library, the original building was moved to the east side of town, on Angelina Street, to serve the African-American Community. This is where it still stands today. It was known for many years as the Colored Branch.
In 1947, the building was renamed the George Washington Carver Library in honor of the famous inventor and
scientist. The library served African-Americans and others in the community until 1979, when a new, modern library building was completed next door.
At that time, work began to convert the building to a cultural center. The museum opened on October 24, 1980 and was expanded with a new facility in 2001. The original colonial revival style building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. In June 2014, the original building will house the Center's Genealogy Center. It continues to serve East Austin as the first neighborhood-based African American history museum in Texas.

SUMMARY
=======
Tuskegee () is a city in Macon County, Alabama, United States. It was founded and laid out in 1833 by General Thomas Simpson Woodward, a Creek War veteran under Andrew Jackson, and made the county seat that year. It was incorporated in 1843. It is also the largest city in Macon County. At the 2010 census the population was 9,865, down from 11,846 in 2000.
Tuskegee has been an important site in African-American history and highly influential in United States history since the 19th century. Before the American Civil War, the area was largely used as a cotton plantation, dependent on African-American slave labor. After the war, many freedmen continued to work on plantations in the rural area, which was devoted to agriculture. In 1881 the Tuskegee Normal School (now Tuskegee University, a historically black college) was founded by Lewis Adams, a former slave whose father, Jesse Adams, a slave owner, allowed him to be educated, and its first, founding principal was, Booker T. Washington who developed a national reputation and philanthropic network to support education of freedmen and their children.
In 1923, the Tuskegee Veterans Administration Medical Center was established here, initially for the estimated 300,000 African-American veterans of World War I in the South, when public facilities were racially segregated. Twenty-seven buildings were constructed on the 464-acre campus.The city was the subject of a notable civil rights case, Gomillion v. Lightfoot (1960), in which the United States Supreme Court ruled that the state legislature had violated the Fifteenth Amendment in 1957 by gerrymandering city boundaries as a 28-sided figure that excluded nearly all black voters and residents, and none of the white voters or residents. The city's boundaries were restored in 1961 after the ruling.

Tuskegee has been an important site in African-American history and highly influential in United States history since the 19th century.
Before the American Civil War, the area was largely used as a cotton plantation, dependent on African-American slave labor.
After the war, many freedmen continued to work on plantations in the rural area, which was devoted to agriculture.
The area was settled by European Americans in the 1830s after the Creek Native American tribes had been removed to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River.
If we look at the history, we have been so unreasonable and selfish towards all the living beings on earth.
We make our selves a superior against one another and make a selfish life, in stead of coming together to work towards one goal to upgrade life for all and improve life for all living beings on earth.
If we change the way we source energy and food and turn towards intelligent management of recourses.
there will be no wars, no politics no religions.

Tuskegee University
Tuskegee University is the second-oldest historically black college in Alabama and one of the largest in the United States. Founded in 1881 as the Normal School for Colored Teachers at Tuskegee, the school quickly became a driving force in the developing industrial education movement under the leadership of noted educator Booker T. Washington, its first president. In its early decades, Tuskegee Institute made significant contributions to agriculture and improving the lives of rural black farmers.
Tuskegee has played an integral role in Alabama history and education. It pioneered the Movable School, served as the training ground for the Tuskegee Airmen, and students and faculty were heavily involved in the civil rights movement. In addition to its many notable alumni and academic developments, it was the first HBCU to have a marching band. Tuskegee University was recently ranked as the top black college in Alabama and the sixth nationally.
Dr. Frank Toland - Tuskegee Institute Legacy
In 1949, Toland left William Penn Business Institute and began working in the history department at the Tuskegee Institute (later Tuskegee University). It was at the Tuskegee Institute that he met his future wife, Maree N. Morse, who was a Tuskegee Institute graduate, and got acquainted with the late Booker T. Washington. The couple married on August 16, 1950, and later had three children. In 1968, Toland became the chair of the Department of History, a position he held until 1984. Also in 1968, Toland was elected unanimously as a member of the City Council of Tuskegee. Toland went on to become the head of the membership committee, the Chairman of the Political Education Committee, and one of the vice presidents of the Tuskegee Civic Association. Driven by a passion to change the racial inequality that existed in Alabama, Toland became involved in the NAACP and the Macon County Democratic Club and used his membership on the various committees as a platform to voice his opinions on race relations, especially in regards to the Voters Rights Act. Through his involvement with civil rights issues, Toland met numerous leading activists including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Reverend Ralph Abernathy.

Around KS - George Washington Carver, One of the World's Most Significant Scientists - July 12, 2017
(Frank) Back again. Around Kansas with Frank and Deb. (Deb) I'm Deb. (Frank) [Laughs] (Deb) So we want to wish a very happy birthday to George Washington Carver, who was born over in Missouri but had the good sense to come to Kansas when but a young man. His schooling was in Kansas and many of his experiments were in Kansas and all over Kansas. They've got a wonderful exhibit if you haven't been up there in Minneapolis at the Ottawa County Museum; they have a very nice exhibit there in the museum. Tell Jettie Condray that we sent you. They've got a very nice, very nice display on him. He was just all over, all over Kansas. So we want to wish him a very Happy Birthday today. (Frank) Born the son of slaves on or around July 12, 1864, in Diamond Grove, Missouri, Carver and his mother were purchased by a Missouri farm couple named Carver. George, one of his sisters and his mother were kidnapped by Confederate raiders. Only George was found and returned to the Carver family. He continued to live with the Carvers after slavery was abolished. Around the age of 13 George moved to Fort Scott. He moved several more times as a teenager. While living in Olathe, Carver became acquainted with ex-slaves Ben and Lucy Seymour. There he attended school, worked in a local barbershop and helped Lucy with her laundry business. He eventually moved to Minneapolis, Kansas, with the Seymours in the summer of 1880 and finished high school. Carver was accepted into Highland Presbyterian College in northeastern Kansas. However, he was rejected upon his arrival at the school when officials discovered he was African American. Discouraged, Carver then homesteaded in western Ness County near the town of Beeler. He farmed there for a couple of years, observing and making sketches of the local flora and fauna. Friends began to refer to him as the Plant Doctor. He moved on to railroading and ranching jobs, living in several small southeastern Kansas towns as well as New Mexico for a brief time. Interested in many aspects of nature, Carver examined and sketched plants and animals in all the places he lived, including the Kansas towns of Paola, Olathe, and Spring Hill. By 1888 Carver's desires to attend an institution of higher learning took him outside Kansas. He enrolled at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. He later transferred to the state agricultural college, Iowa State University at Ames, where he later became the first African American on faculty. Carver was working in the botany department at Iowa State when Booker T. Washington asked him to sign on at Tuskegee Institute. Carver moved to Alabama in 1896 to lead the African American college's agriculture department. For almost 50 years he remained at Tuskegee, teaching and pursuing his scientific studies. When he died on January 5, 1943, Carver was widely recognized for his intelligence, humility and inventiveness. President Franklin D. Roosevelt called him one of the world's most significant scientists.
