Introduction. African-American educator and agricultural researcher George Washington Carver (c. 1864-1943) grew up in Missouri with the white family that originally kept his mother as a slave. After earning his masterâs degree in agriculture from Iowa State College in 1896, he headed the agricultural department at Booker T. Washingtonâs all-black Tuskegee Institute for nearly 20 years. Carverâs research and innovative educational programs were aimed at inducing farmers to replace expensive commodities, and he developed a variety of uses for crops such as cow peas, sweet potatoes and peanuts.
