George Washington Carver: From Slave to Scientist (CD) (ISBN-13: 9781624860041)

George's mother panicked when she heard the thunder of horses and the whooping of men. Bushwhackers She pulled her baby close to her chest and stood rooted to the dirt floor in fear. A man stumbled through her doorway. "We got us one, boys " he yelled, waving his rifle in the air and dragging his captives into the cold night.

"Once a kidnapped slave baby, George Washington Carver found freedom in learning everything he could about the world around him. Overcoming poverty and racism, George became a brilliant scientist and a gifted professor who dedicated his expertise to helping black farmers escape the devastating grip of poverty.

George's scientific creativity knew no limits. His ingenious experimentation with peanuts and other plants helped rescue the failing Southern economy. Still remembered for his far-reaching and diverse achievements, Dr. Carver generously shared his talent simply for the reward of helping others."
