CARVER: A SCREENPLAY is a biographical drama of agricultural chemist George Washington Carver, the first Black scientist to be inducted in the Inventor's and Scientists Hall of Fame. CARVER follows the colorful 80 year life of George, beginning with being born into slavery in 1860's Southwest Missouri, to travel, drifter and student; the first Black to receive a Bachelor's and Master's degree at Iowa State College; followed by his 43 year teaching career at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, the first Black college with a Science department. CARVER is a film about racism and discrimination of the black man throughout history; the importance of education and science; and how one man changed the world through science with plants and their contribution to life.
