Video of George Washington Carver at Tuskegee University
[guest post by Dana]
I love this video of George Washington Carver that is making the rounds:
Rare footage of George Washington Carver at Tuskegee University in 1937. He was about 73 years old. You are looking at a man who was born enslaved, and died a renowned scientist and inventor. pic.twitter.com/RtaKTSdkv9

It’ unsurprising that these wise words are attributed to Carver, given the life he lived and the history he made:
“How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.”
