George Washington Carver died on this day in 1943. He overcame slavery to achieve fame as a scientist, botanist and educator. He invented over 300 uses for peanuts and he’s responsible for much more. He's credited for the idea of crop rotation to improve soil health.

#BlackHistoryMonth celebrates the history & achievements of the Black community. As I reflect on the adversity & triumphs that Black Americans have faced, I’m also aware that tomorrow’s history is written today. With resolve in our actions, we can secure a more equitable future.

This is Charles & Willa Bruce. In 1912 they bought prime beachfront land in Manhattan Beach, LA County and built a Black resort community. In 1924 the county took it and refused to pay its value. In 2021, worth $72 million, it was returned to their descendents by Senate Bill 796.

Exactly. The misconception that affirmative action meant unqualified people have been admitted into college solely because of their race was never true and is quite frankly an ignorant interpretation. Thank you @joyannreid for setting the record straight and sharing your truth!
