George Washington Carver (January 1864[1][2] – January 5, 1943) worked in agricultural extension at the Tuskegee Institute, in Tuskegee, Alabama, teaching former slaves farming techniques for self-sufficiency. His exact birth day (and year) are unknown, yet it is known that it was some time before slavery was abolished in Missouri in January, 1864.[1] To commemorate his life and inventions, George Washington Carver Recognition Day is celebrated every January 5, on the day Carver died.
