George Washington Carver, “Father of chemurgy”
George Washington Carver, “Father of chemurgy” – The term “chemurgy” describes the production of raw agricultural material into refined industrial products. It was first named by chemist William J. Hale when he published “The Farm Chemurgic” in 1934. However, the concept of chemurgy entered the scientific spotlight through the work of George Washington Carver during the years to come.

This is an excellent article! The picture is excellent! The caption is excellent! The subject (George Washington Carver)
is the most accomplished Black American of the 20th century. George Washington Carver is the greatest unsung hero
the world has ever known. The title of this article is truly fitting of this great, very great American!
This short piece speak’s volumes to those scholars like myself who know that Dr. George Washington Carver has no
equal in the science of agriculture…any where or at any time in history.
