Today is George Washington Carver Day in Iowa!

Carver was the first Black student to attend Iowa State, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1894 and a master's degree in 1896.

After graduating, Carver taught at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, exploring ways to help Black tenant farmers out of poverty. He was especially known for his work with peanuts, sweet potatoes, and other alternative crops to cotton that could be grown in the south.
