Description

George Washington Carver was born a slave in Missouri about 1864 and was raised by the childless white couple who had owned his mother.

In 1877 he left home in search of an education, eventually earning a master's degree.

In 1896, Booker T. Washington invited Carver to start the agricultural department at the all-black-staffed Tuskegee Institute, where he spent the rest of his life seeking solutions to the poverty among landless black farmers by developing new uses for soil-replenishing crops such as peanuts, cowpeas, and sweet potatoes.

Carver's achievements as a botanist and inventor were balanced by his gifts as a painter, musician, and teacher.

This Newbery Honor Book and Coretta Scott King Author Honor Book by Marilyn Nelson provides a compelling and revealing portrait of Carver's complex, richly interior, profoundly devout life.
