George Washington Carver (Jr. Graphic American Inventors)

Life was hard for all African Americans living at that time, but Carver rose to become one of the most famous scientists in the United States. His work in agriculture helped many poor farmers in the South. He is best known for making peanuts a popular food, and he proved that plants could be used to create many products that would give people better lives.
