I think I just found another scientist to add to my list of "Favorite Scientists." Way to go Professor George Washington Carver. You have my respect.

[@r.abella7490]

Woah who and how many scientists are in that list? I'm curious. I only know Bose, Carver, and Tesla. And that last one is an inventor, not a scientist.

[@cartergomez5390]

Squanto, George Washington, John Colter, Daniel Boone, Jim Bowie, Kenneth Deardorff, Tim Leatherman and Tim Ralston

[@fullmetaltheorist]

​@@r.abella7490Tesla was a scientist as well. He studied electricity and magnetism. I know many scientists. Get to reading about them you'll like them.

[@LeonardoDeVinci1452]

Dr. Carver was much bigger than I thought. Even after doing a book report on him in the 5th grade. To me, he represents you do not have to split the atom or understand the dimensions of gravity to be a great scientist.

[@galacticstarseedfederation7445]

Yes because we only knew about peanuts.

[@Crimea_River]

Came here out of curiosity about peanut butter. I left impressed with the achievements of this guy. Well done GWC!

[@subatomic10]

G.W. Carver and Frederick Douglas were 2 giants who rose out of slavery to the point of advising Presidents!

[@leeellenwood5461]

What ah genuinely great guy. Nothing but respect.

[@iiamkaleis]

I was studying him in ELA! And I titled my essay The Plant Doctor! Hope I get a good grade! To be exact he created over 418 household products & recipes using peanuts.

[@devon6257]

This is amazing he’s not talked about enough

[@Spencer-ut7bn]

He’s like the first famous African American you learn about in school (excluding MLK).

[@GoldenLover2420]

What I find so fascinating and equally frightening is that, instead of creating a greater dialogue about this mans achievements, the conversation turns into a ridiculous debate about his sexuality and personal life. I wish they would just disable the comment section from KZbin, because most people use it as a space to spew their hate-filled sentiments, and most people don't know how to overlook it, so they end up engaging it, giving the comment more attention. So sad. This man was truly GREAT!

[@lexprimo]

Carver is an inspiration to the human spirit. To achieve a fraction of what he did, had he come from privilege and wealth, would have been impressive, but to achieve what he actually did, after making his way through an atmosphere of pig ignorance, time and time again, is near miraculous. Learning about the life of George Washington Carver, would be a pretty good way to start to educate those who think black people are in some way inferior. Perhaps they should question whether they could have taken that sort of treatment, and not only continued, but excelled, in whatever they chose to do with their life?

[@matthewmiller5171]

amen

[@gloriouse4458]

What a Great 👍 man 🌺

[@danyvelasquez9221]

The best George Washington carver I know

[@EdwinPerez-cy4vu]

Thank God that Mr. Carver turned down the offer of working for that treacherous Thomas Edison.

[@CashPresley32]

If if wasn't for Thomas Edison, we would not have electricity, and thus we would not have radio, TV, cell phones, laptops, or any type of computer for that matter, CD players, iPods, tablets, mp3 players, refrigerators, microwaves, etc, etc, etc. Thomas Edison was essential to today's world.

[@quantumblitz]

hehe, I went attended his school, Miami Edison Senior High School, its not really grand.

[@victormalyar9200]

I thought Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity.

[@gloriouse4458]

CashPresley32 not necessarily so 🤔 someone else would have come along n started electricity just like Benjamin Franklin 👍🌺

[@thomase9514]

Tesla did not invent the lightbulb. Tesla's biggest contribution was inventing Alternating Current. While Edison did not invent the very first lightbulb, (that was Humphry Davy) he spent a tremendous amount of time and energy improving its efficiency and making it a viable option for every day use.

[@hodgemoss]

Amazing man so humble and yet so inspiring. On a familial note he has a resemblance of a close member of my family . Curious!

[@psocidlover]

I grew up in Opelika, Alabama just 20 miles from Tuskegee. My grandmother visited his lab I the 1920's. He is my very favorite African-American scientist.

[@johnpfmcguire]

Ford would not work with Jews for fear of sabotage but did work with Carver and even pushed the envelope of social norm on Carver's behalf. Ford was no racist, just shrewd. And speaking of shrewd, avoiding Edison was shrewd on Carver's part.

[@donnaknowlandsmith1793]

Thank you Bio for this video on George Washington Carver, it helped me alot with my school work, another thing is if some of the people like Edwin Ricardo Perez or bdoow could stop posting such absurd comments on the video. If you want to name what you think happened bdoow go to Wikipedia to post what you think, not on a video that states what the history is already. Thank you very much.

[@blackerpanther3329]

★ Froggie Animation ★ It’s very difficult, if not impossible, to gauge the impact of Carver’s attempts to diversify crop production, and to what degree it improved farmers’ lives and prospects. So no, it’s not undeniable.
