"George
Washington Carver was born into slavery in Diamond, Missouri, around 1864. The exact year and date of his birth are unknown. Carver went on to become one of the most prominent scientists and inventors of his time, as well as a teacher at the Tuskegee Institute. Carver devised over 100 products using one of these crops—the peanut—including dyes, plastics and gasoline. He died in 1943." No, he didn't invent peanut butter, but 100 other products is not bad. |

Booker T and WEB Dubois represented a split in the future of blacks in the US. I would have supported the ideas of Booker T. who believed education was the key.

The greatest black American is the guy/gal who works their ass off, pays their bills, raises their kids, saves some money, owns some things, and basically lives life as an asset to the country.
The greatest Americans are just plain ol' good Americans. |
