    isn't it wonderful to his credit born in 1864, and then to not want to stay with his wondering Mom and men she took off with, but be with the Carvers, to get a bachelors1894 degree at 30 yo at Iowa State and then go on for a masters grad in 1896. He had a brother, I wonder which way he went?

    To Tanean Bethay, He did obtain one patent. He did not want to profit from his inventions but wanted to share them with mankind. Read his autobiography the biography written by others leave out the most important things. They have led you astray. He was my hero in junior high. How could he invent 300 uses for the peanut. Later I found out it was 3000. I am a 77 year old white man and he is still my hero.

    I am 60 and came to study the footage as I studied the man's accomplishments. Lots more than these gems below. Carver only patented three of his inventions. In his words, “It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.” Peanut products (from Live Science) Carver heard the complaints and retired to his laboratory for a solid week, during which he developed several new products that could be produced from peanuts. When he introduced these products to the public in a series of simple brochures, the market for peanuts skyrocketed. Today, Carver is credited with saving the agricultural economy of the rural South.From his work at Tuskegee, Carver developed approximately 300 products made from peanuts; these included: flour, paste, insulation, paper, wall board, wood stains, soap, shaving cream and skin lotion. He experimented with medicines made from peanuts, which included antiseptics, laxatives and a treatment for goiter. Carver's legacy Carver died on Jan. 5, 1943. At his death, he left his life savings, more than $60,000, to found the George Washington Carver Institute for Agriculture at Tuskegee. In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated funds to erect a monument at Diamond, Missouri, in his honor. Commemorative postage stamps were issued in 1948 and again in 1998. A George Washington Carver half-dollar coin was minted www.livescience.com/41780-george-washington-carver.html#:~:text=From%20his%20work%20at%20Tuskegee,and%20a%20treatment%20for%20goiter.

He had a brother, I wonder which way he went? With so many people like him and Hiram Revel graduated school college and law school to be elected in 1870 to Mississippi congress, I always wondered why anyone would praise criminals and subversive types. smh "led you astray" . There are so many videos on yt from the 1800s interviews even. People were much more honorable back then, Dr. Salk when asked if he would patent his polio vac that worked for one because it wasn't for a cold virus which mutates too fast to get a vac, said "can one patent the sun."

    Oh What a blessing! I don’t know how you get these fabulous pictures and stories but thank you. In first or second grade my white teacher gave me a book on George Washington Carver for my birthday. (Back then white teachers had no clue that black children are just like white children except for the color of their skin.) None of the other children got that book because they were white, but that was their loss. Anyway, that book introduced me to this brilliant man. Many years after the book I learned that Henry Ford offered Mr. Carver big bucks to help him with his cars, but he kindly turned the offer down since he loved teaching at Tuskegee. Thanks again.

    I so loved seeing this! I was so fortunate to happen across the George Washington Carver national monument in Missouri in 2011. Before that, I'd never heard of him. He was such an inspiration and gentle man with such great ethics, I became fascinated and a few months ago here in New Zealand in a thrift store I found a biography about him by Rackham Holt, and am just reading the last chapter. What an amazing book, I've learned so much about Mr Carver, and to see this movie is just amazing 👏 thank you! He is truly a national and world treasure. Can't wait to meet him in heaven someday. 💓

    Mr. Carver was always one of my favorite heros. He once asked God to show him the secrets of the universe, but God told him that that was too much for him to handle, so God filled him with the knowledge of the peanut. And what he achieved with that knowledge was amazing.
