Join the National Association of Scholars Tuesday, June 13, at 2 pm ET for "American Innovation: George Washington Carver and Agricultural Innovation."
George Washington Carver had a genius for agriculture, a genius that allowed him to challenge prevailing norms and take a fresh look at topics that others considered settled. From peanut butter to soil rotation techniques, modern agriculture owes much to Carver's work.
What were George Washington Carver's contributions to modern agricultural science? What challenges did he face, and how did he overcome them?
This event will feature Gary Kremer, Director of the State Historical Society of Missouri and adjunct Professor of History at the University of Missouri; William Federer, author of over 20 books and Senior Fellow at the D. James Kennedy Center for Christian Statesmanship; and Mark Hersey, an associate Professor of History at Mississippi State University and author of My Work Is That of Conservation: An Environmental Biography of George Washington Carver.
