George Washington Carver was born into slavery in Diamond, Missouri, in 1864. His early life was marked by poverty and hardship. After the Civil War, he and his family became sharecroppers, struggling to make ends meet on a small farm. Despite the arduous conditions, Carver displayed an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.
At the age of 12, Carver left home to pursue an education. He worked odd jobs to pay for his tuition and attended schools in Kansas and Iowa. However, racism and discrimination were rampant during that time, and he faced numerous obstacles along the way.
