DESCRIPTION:This very special year to celebrate the utilization of our ancient future 
 model of Urban Agriculture sacred science, we rededicate efforts to 
 showcase to Dr. George Washington Carver as the definitive modern Black 
 Agriculturalists to teach young women and men the broader utilization of 
 our sacred science of Agriculture.\n\nIn 1943, George Washington Carver 
 Recognition Day was established, though a rarely acknowledged National 
 Holiday, our great African American scientist is worthy of renewed 
 focus.\n\nIn 1935, George Washington Carver was specifically appointed to 
 the Department of Agriculture by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to address 
 the southern farming crisis. \n\nLeading many new Agricultural practices he 
 implemented, he advised farmers to use crop rotation and strengthen soil 
 science.\n\nCarver's accomplishments found that since peanuts and sweet 
 potato crops have nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their roots, these plants 
 restore nitrogen levels in the soil, which helps other plants like 
 soybeans, potatoes and cotton to grow better.\n\nDr. Carver was awarded the 
 Roosevelt Medal in 1939 for saving Southern agriculture, which was later 
 instrumental in feeding the United States during World War II).  It was 
 also the reason that, upon his death on Jan. 5, 1943, Dr. Carver’s 
 hometown was made a historic site.\n\nPresident Harry S. Truman signed the 
 Joint Resolution on December 28, 1945, saying, "I do hereby call upon 
 officials of the Government to have the flag at half staff on all 
 government buildings on January 5, 1946, in commemoration of the 
 achievements of George Washington Carver."\n\nDuring the 79th Congress, 
 Public Law 290 was passed to designate January 5th of each year as George 
 Washington Carver Recognition Day.\n
