George Washington Carver Didn't Invent Peanut Butter, but He Did Save American Agriculture

There's nothing quite as satisfying as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, no matter what your age. And as such a common treat, you might think we should spend an episode discussing the person who invented peanut butter. I thought it was invented by George Washington Carver, but I was wrong, and reading about him led me down an interesting journey about education, agriculture, and the healing powers of legumes. So take a listen to an episode about a man who cared so much about education, he made a classroom on wheels so he could travel and teach ... I have a feeling he would have loved the internet.
