George Washington Carver PORTRAYED BY Keith Henley
“There is no End to What I can do”
George Washington Carver, often known as "The Peanut Man", was the inventor responsible for redeveloping the Southern crop industry after the American Civil War. From plant propagation and crop rotation, to harvesting, industrial and retail use, Dr. Carver's discoveries and innovations with peanuts, sweet potatoes, and soy beans revolutionized the science behind planting and farming. His ideas influenced farmers not just in the Southern States, but across the Nation and the World.
Keith Henley’s portrayal of George Washington Carver provides an enthusiastic and delightful look into the ingenuity, tenacity, and social conscience of “The Peanut man” whose inventions, and innovations are still very much a part of our lives today.
