Bricks and Peanuts
In 1881, Booker T. Washington arrived in Alabama and started building Tuskegee Institute both in reputation and literally brick by brick. He recruited the best and the brightest to come and teach here including George Washington Carver who arrived in 1896. Carver’s innovations in agriculture, especially with peanuts, expanded Tuskegee’s standing throughout the country.
13 March 2015Got to take in the Oaks with a GREAT tour guild. It was her first time as a tour guild and she did a wonderful job and had such a passion for Booker T Washington. We also took in the Carver Museum and got to know the mind of George Washington Carver. Who knew you could do so much with a peanut, but he did so much more then just working with peanut's.
