Good day.
|

I want to tell you about one of my personal heroes.
|
||
|
|
I'm not counting family, of course, but rather someone from time's past.
|
||
|
|
His name was George Washington Carver.
|
||
|
|
Born into slavery in the 1800s, he rose to become a world-class biologist and one of the
|
||
|
|
most important scientists in American history.
|
||
|
|
His story is one of privation, perseverance, genius, and triumph, and he's someone everyone
|
||
|
|
ought to know about.
|
||
|
|
Look him up.
|
||
|
|
You'll be glad you did.
