Misunderstanding George Washington Carver's Legacy
Pee-wee
I'm on my way to a career in agriculture. I hope to be the next George Washington Carver. You know who George Washington Carver was, Mace?
Mace
Yes, I do. First President of the United States.
Pee-wee
No. He was a scientist. His research as an agricultural chemist revolutionized farming. He was the father of the peanut. He discovered over 300 uses for it! Instant coffee, soap, and ink, to name just a few.
