George Washington Carver Research Paper

If I had the opportunity to spend a day with someone from African American History, it would be George Washington Carver. George Washington Carver is known for his groundbreaking achievements, in science and innovation. His remarkable impact includes improvements in crop rotation techniques and diseases within crops. In addition, Carver's methods improved soil quality and expanded farming methods in the Southern United States. He discovered uses for crops like peanuts, sweet potatoes, and soybeans influencing agricultural efficiency and sustainability. Despite encountering prejudice, Carver rose as an African American scientist, leaving behind a legacy in the field of agriculture. I would spend the day with Carver, asking him questions about …show more content…
His persistence and dedication to crop techniques show how strong-willed he was through his tribulations. A wise person has told me that “No does not mean no forever, it means no for now, and you take that opportunity to make it a yes.” I know that Carver had many people who discarded his work, but he continued to research and experiment to produce great results. If I were to spend a day with Carver I would converse with him about how society has changed for African Americans, and how we are rebuilding our community. I would have mentioned how he has motivated me to study plant diseases and to continue to learn about organisms that can help our community. When I began researching different careers in plant science, I came across plant pathology and was immediately drawn to it. I was intrigued by the study of plant diseases and their impact on agriculture, food production, and the environment. With the increasing demand for food production and the threat of climate change, it is crucial to find ways to protect crops from diseases while also being environmentally safe. Being a scientist in the field of agriculture is an impactful job because when you are researching or experimenting, it is for the greater good of humanity. You are not thinking about different races or politics, you are thinking about solutions to make the environment safer and more
