If We're Gonna Do This

If we're going to talk about black history to the exclusion of all else in February, let's talk about black people who are worth emulating.

I give you George Washington Carver, fellow transient resident of Ames, Iowa.

I first learned of him in 4th grade when I lived in the 'burbs of Chicago.

The focus was all the stuff you could do with peanuts that Carver had developed.

Somehow appropriate, given that a peanut farmer was president at the time.
