When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world."[53]
Bravo!! He sure did get the attention of the world.

Carver viewed faith in Jesus Christ as a means of destroying both barriers of racial disharmony and social stratification.[51] He was as concerned with his students' character development as he was with their intellectual development. He compiled a list of eight cardinal virtues for his students to strive toward:
Its a way for anyone to share something in common. God used this man to bring many people to the kingdom, Carver probably was not well known for this but Im sure that was the whole plan, in the first place. God is good!
God just came into my heart one afternoon while I was alone in the 'loft' of our big barn while I was shelling corn to carry to the mill to be ground into meal. A dear little white boy, one of our neighbors, about my age came by one Saturday morning, and in talking and playing he told me he was going to Sunday school tomorrow morning. I was eager to know what a Sunday school was. He said they sang hymns and prayed. I asked him what prayer was and what they said. I do not remember what he said; only remember that as soon as he left I climbed up into the 'loft,' knelt down by the barrel of corn and prayed as best I could. I do not remember what I said. I only recall that I felt so good that I prayed several times before I quit. My brother and myself were the only colored children in that neighborhood and of course, we could not go to church or Sunday school, o
Amazing!! Reading this is just so heart touching to me. Its exactly how God works. He just hears you and is always there without you even knowing. Im sure God had this all planned out with his life.
Carver's testifying to Congress made him widely known as a public figure.
Again his intelligence and articulate manner won him acceptance in the community. This man must have been quite a shock for the white community to see him doing so many important things.
Carver submitted or threatened his resignation several times: when the administration reorganized the agriculture programs,[26] when he disliked a teaching assignment,[27] to manage an experiment station elsewhere,[28] and when he did not get summer teaching assignments in 1913–14
Carver definitely knew his worth and wasn't afraid to speak up. I'm sure this attitude is what helped him get as far as he did in his career.
Carver designed a mobile classroom to take education out to farmers.
Another great thing that I'm sure made a huge impact on society. Im sure there were many who couldnt leave the farms if they wanted to just because of the amount of work that had to be done.
espite occasionally being addressed as "doctor," Carver never received an official doctorate, and in a personal communication with Louis H. Pammel, he noted that it was a "misnomer", given to him by others due to his abilities and their assumptions about his education
He must have been a very articulate individual. it seems most people had a lot of respect for him.
George decided to go to a school for black children 10 miles (16 km) south, in Neosho. When he reached the town, he found the school closed for the night. He slept in a nearby barn. By his own account, the next morning he met a kind woman, Mariah Watkins, from whom he wished to rent a room.
His want to learn just astounds me. He walked 10 miles just to attend school. at such a young age that is some real drive to succeed.
After slavery was abolished, Moses Carver and his wife, Susan, raised George and his older brother, James, as their own children.
They only owned his parents 5years before the kidnapping so by them taking care of him and his brother as their own tells me they were unlike other slave owners ive read about .

begins to explain how to differentiate between the two.
I wouldagreewithSt. Augustine that“anunjustlaw isnolaw at all.
gives an example of someone well known that has the same view on the subject of unjust laws
