I say underrated.

I spent an entire day at the Gearge Washington Carver Museum as a kid.
And to learn as a kid that this guy invented peanut butter, leaves a big impression.

Of course all the other inventions at the museum were amazing too.

GW Carver played a major role in my novel.

And I'm really not trying to turn this into an excuse to self-pimp. I just wanted to mention that I thought he was cool enough to use him as a prominent character.

Motherfucker invented crop rotation. FUCKING CROP ROTATION!

Synthetic rubber, marble, printer ink, 500 different types of dye. Unfortunately, being a black man in mid 19th/early 20th century America he only earned three patents, all for the same idea. Not involving the peanut. George Washington Carver created so much shit that in history books people say, "He invented 300 uses for the peanut...oh, and a few hundred other things, but we can't really write them all down."

There's George Washington Carver. And there's Thomas Edison. In that order. Everyone else is a wannabe.

So unbelievably underrated.

Underated.
i mean, most people just know about his peanut fetish, but he also liked sweet potatoes and pecans. so he was pretty cool.
