An american scientist, botanist educator and inventor. Born 1860. Died 1943. George Washington Carver developed his crop rotation method which revolutionised agriculture in the southern states of America, greatly boosting the economy of the area at a time when many farmers werefacing great hardship following years of civil war . He educated farmers to alternate the soil-depleting cotton crops with soil-enriching crops such as peanuts, soya beans, sweet potatoes and pecans and thus changing th e South from being a one-crop land of cotton, to being multi-crop farmlands, with farmers having hundreds of profitable uses for their new crops.

George Washington Carver did not patent or profit from most of his products. He freely gave his discoveries to mankind. Most important was the fact that he "God gave them to me" he would say about his ideas, "How can I sell them to someone else?" In 1940, Carver donated his life savings to the establishment of the Carver Research Foundation at Tuskegee, for continuing research in agriculture. He is recognised as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century and his influence is still being felt today.

More interesting facts, fun ideas and reproducibles can be found on the reverse of this popular poster. A great accompaniment to our other Scientist and Inventors posters.

Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, circa 1818 – February 20, 1895) was a firm believer in the equality of all people. He was fond of saying, "I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong." He was an American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman. After escaping from slavery, he became a leader of the abolitionist movement gaining renown for his dazzling oratory and incisive antislavery writing.
Frederick Douglass visited Britain on a number of occasions to promote the cause of abolition, most famously the city of Leeds in 1859 where he gave an inspirational speech at the Music Hall. Read more about this anti-slavery activist on our informative poster.

For example, re climate:
Did you know that
Africa is the second largest continent in the world. 15% of it is considered desert (hot with little rain). 10% of it is considered tropical rainforest (tropical wet). 35% of it is considered savanna/grasslands (steppe). The rest of Africa includes Mediterranean climate, mountain climate, tropical wet and dry, rainy and mild and wet and mild.

Our FREE guide also covers population and agricultural diversity and has a great deal of fascinating information that will help your students realise that Africa is a continent and not a country and that the common generalisations that people make about Africa may indeed be true of a few places in Africa but they do not represent the continent as a whole.
