George Washington Carver's Revolutionary 300+ Products
From his laboratory at Tuskegee Institute, George Washington Carver transformed the humble peanut into hundreds of revolutionary products that changed agriculture, industry, and daily life across America. Each product represents not just scientific innovation, but a step toward economic freedom for Southern farmers.
Starting in 1902, George Washington Carver embarked on a mission that would revolutionize American agriculture. When the boll weevil devastated cotton crops across the South, Carver's peanut innovations provided farmers with alternatives that saved entire communities from economic ruin. His work proved that science could be a tool for social justice and economic empowerment.
