任教於塔斯提吉學院

美國內戰解放了黑奴，但卻未能教導他們如何過自由的生活。在戰後，開始出現幫助訓練非裔美國人的學校，阿拉巴馬州塔斯提吉學院（Tuskegee Institute）於1881年成立，也是最知名的訓練學校之一。布克華盛頓（Booker T. Washington）是當時塔斯提吉學院的校長，校內的課程指導學生包括木工、印刷、砌磚、家政等工作技能，塔斯提吉學院也提供針對國小老師的訓練課程。

在1896年，布克華盛頓希望尋找一位能在塔斯提吉學院教授農業技術的老師，喬治華盛頓卡佛此時正好取得了愛荷華州立大學農業科學的碩士學位，因此華盛頓便邀請卡佛擔任此職務。卡佛此時說了些什麼？

The Civil War freed the slaves, but it didn't teach them how to live as free people. After the war, schools were created to help train African Americans. Tuskegee Institute in Alabama opened in 1881, and it was one of most famous training schools. Booker T. Washington was its president. Job skills such as carpentry, printing, brick making, and home economics were taught there. Tuskegee also provided training for elementary school teachers.

In 1896, Booker T. Washington needed someone to teach agriculture at Tuskegee. George Washington Carver was just finishing his master's degree in agriculture science at Iowa State. Washington offered Carver the job. What did Carver say?
