152 years ago a black boy was born into slavery in Diamond, Missouri. After abolition he slept in a barn 10 miles from his home so he could attend the only school in the area that taught black students. He went on to develop techniques to make farming more effective as well as many other scientific innovations. That man was George Washington Carver. 58 years ago, Neil DeGrasse Tyson was born in Manhattan, NY and is now the leading astrophysicist in the country – undoubtedly inspired by Carver and others who came before him. Who will inspire the next generation? Find out at the library as they honor Black History month – Celebrating History, Inspiring the Future. (2/6) – C. Milloway
