001493565 520__ $$aBust of George Washington Carver in front of building at Tuskegee University. Born a slave in 1864 on his father's farm near Diamond Grove, Missouri, as an infant he and his mother were kidnapped by Confederate night-raiders and possibly taken to Arkansas. His father, Moses Carver found and reclaimed his son, but his mother was never found. It was on his father's farm where Carver first fell in love with nature, where he earned the nickname The Plant Doctor and collected in earnest all manner of rocks and plants. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1894 and a Master of Science degree in bacterial botany and agriculture in 1897 from Iowa Agricultural College (now Iowa State University). He later became the first African-American member of the faculty of Iowa Agricultural College, teaching classes about soil conservation and etc. In 1897, Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee University in Alabama, convinced George Washington Carver to come south and serve as the school's Director of Agriculture where he remained until his death in 1943. (https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=179) There is a George Washington Carver Museum on the Tuskegee campus today. Carver is buried on the campus.
