George Washington Carver was a prominent African American scientist and inventor.Carver is best known for the many uses of the peanut.

They called him the plant doctor. He moved a lot; one time to Kansas. He turned away college and in the mean time he saved money for college in Iowa. He loved agriculture! In Iowa he studied art. He was the only black person to graduate in 1896 with a Masters Degree. He made inventions to help slaves. He made 300 uses for the peanut. Some of those uses are paint, dye, and plastic.

Civil rights activist Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was born Rosa on February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama. Taught to read by her mother at a young age, Rosa attended a segregated, one-room school in Pine Level, Alabama, that often lacked adequate school supplies such as desks. In 1932, at age 19, Rosa met and married Raymond Parks, a barber and an active member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. With Raymond's support, Rosa earned her high school degree in 1933. She soon became actively involved in civil rights issues by joining the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP in 1943, serving as the chapter's youth leader as well as secretary to NAACP President E.D. Nixon — a post she held until 1957.
Parks refused to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a segregated Montgomery, Alabama bus, which spurred on the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott that helped launch nationwide efforts to end segregation of public facilities. The city of Montgomery had no choice but to lift the law requiring segregation on public buses. Rosa Parks received many accolades during her lifetime, including the NAACP's highest award.​
February 4, 2013 marked what would have been Rosa Parks' 100th birthday. In celebration, a commemorative U.S. Postal Service stamp, called the Rosa Parks Forever stamp and featuring a rendition of the famed activist, debuted.

After she got hit, she developed narcolepsy, a disease where people randomly fall asleep. She married John Tubman in 1844. In 1849, Harriet escaped slavery and came back many times to help others escape. She became a conductor of the Underground Railroad. When the Civil War was intact, she was a nurse, cook, and spy!

In the fall, when school started, Ruby was the first black child in the south to attend an all-white school.
