My Invention:
my invention that i thought made America for the better is Peanut butter
The Man behind the Peanut Butter:
George Washington Carver was born as a slave in Diamond, Missouri. GWC never got to see his parents because they both died shortly after he was born. His mother was kidnapped and his dad died in an accident. As a young child George was very interested in plants, He would always wander around his masters' house and study them. When he was ten he asked his parents if he could go to an all black school that was 8 miles away. They said yes and then began the Georges' education. In 1880 George went to Simpson College here in Iowa. When he first arrived he was interested in art but then he decided that he should focus on plants and agriculture. When he was done studying at Simpson he went to Iowa State. When he got there they were so impressed with his knowledge they offered him a job as a faculty member. He was the very first faculty member Iowa St. ever had. 20 years later George started to study peanuts. He wanted to know why people only planted certain crops like cotton or corn. He wanted to show farmers that peanuts are a good crop to plant too. George did this by making presentations and speeches. Many of the southern farmers started planting the peanut. In Georges career he made over 300 peanut products earning him the nickname "the peanut man. He was also a very generous man. In 1940 he gave his entire life savings to Tuskegee Institute.
My thoughts:
I think that George is probably one of the greatest inventors of all time. Withouht him we might be have to have j's and not pb&j's. He also think he was a positive role model for the black population at the time.
