On April 5th we venerate Ancestor Booker T. Washington on his 167th birthday🎉

The epitome of Black Excellence in academia & beyond, Brother Booker T. was a scholar, eduvator, student, principle, businessman, & founder of Tuskegee University in the decades following Emancipation.

Having only ever been known as, Booker, he was born enslaved on the plantation in Virginia along with his mother, Jane, to an unknown White man from a neighboring plantation. After gaining their freedom in West Virginia, he began pursuing formal education. This was a pivotal moment in his life as this was the first time that he was confronted with the realization that his first name was the only name he'd ever known in the absence of surname. This spurred was during the school registeration process. Thus Booker T. Washington forged his name as an ode to his stepfather surname & after discovering the name of his biological father, Taliaferro. Education would become a reoccurring theme in his life of which he attributed to his elevated status & success. He used public higher education as the lens through which he pursued the abolition of Slavery & the advancement of his people. His philosophy was, an investment in practical skills training was the key to the Negro collective's economic & moral progression while accepting the realities of Segregation. For Booker T., education was always the key to our advancement.

"He lifted the veil of ignorance from his people and pointed the way to progress through education and industry" - presented on the Booker T. Washington monument at Tuskegee University.

We give him libations & 💐 today as we celebrate Brother Booker T. for shattering false perceptions of what it means to be of us while charting a path forward to our collective advancement that would serve as a template & stellar example to many.

Offering suggestions: dollars/coins, libations of water (especially on the grounds of Tuskegee University), & books

*Note: offering suggestions are just that & strictly for veneration purposes only. Never attempt to conjure up any spirit or entity without proper divination/Mediumship counsel.

Before Venus & Serena Williams, there was Margaret and Matilda Peters. They were nicknamed “Pete” and “Repeat” for their doubles playing skills and last name. The Peters Sisters attended Tuskegee University in 1937. 

While they were in college, segregation laws did not allow African Americans to compete against Whites, so the Peters sisters played in the American Tennis Association (ATA), which was created specifically to give African Americans a forum to play tennis competitively. 

After graduating from Tuskegee University in 1942, they both continued to play tennis in the American Tennis Association. They won 14 Doubles Tennis titles between 1938 and 1953. Despite their great skill, the sisters were never allowed to compete against the great white Doubles Players of the time. 

By the time the walls of segregation in tennis started falling, the Peters sisters were past their prime and were never able to compete in racially integrated matches. However, they gained fame as tennis stars. Margaret and Matilda Peters were inducted into the Tuskegee Hall of Fame in 1977. 

Black women are legendary.

In honour of Black History Month, here is the story of the extraordinary American Plant Scientist George Washington Carver. He was born into slavery in the USA and through hard work and education became an influential agricultural reformer, science communicator, and economic botany researcher. GW Carver grew up in rural Missouri, USA, and had an early affinity for plants as well as a hunger for learning. He studied botany at Iowa State University and became the first Black faculty member at this university. At the Tuskegee University, he headed the Agricultural department and researched environmentally friendly farming methods such as crop rotation with legume crops like peanuts. Although he did not personally invent peanut butter, he promoted the South American crop’s nutritional benefits to help public health. He also researched many plant diseases and studied new ways to use plant products in medicine. The last two decades of his life saw him become a household name on both sides of the Atlantic, where he gave public lectures on plant biology, new uses of peanuts and sweet potatoes, organic farming, racial harmony, and education for Black Americans. He was a lifelong bachelor and a devout Christian in addition to his passion for plants. Although he suffered from delicate health his whole life, he had a strong spirit and an indomitable drive to leave the world a better place than he found it. #georgewashingtoncarver #blackhistory #juneteenth #blackamericans #africanamericans #blackculture #scientist #greatscientists #plantbiology #plantscience #botany #agriculture #famousscientists #blackscientist #pocinstem #katia_plantscientist #blackhistorymonth #blackexcellence #blackhistory #botany #poc #blackscientist #scientist #inspirational

Jed and Katey visited the George Washington Carver homestead on their camping trip, I'm a little shocked that Jed said he'd been their before. But of course he related George Washington Carver's work back to having faith and God.

George Washington Carver had a difficult start in life. His father died shortly before his birth And weeks later, slave traders kidnapped him and his mother. The group sent out to find him and his mother exchanged a horse for the young boy. His mother, however, was lost to the traders.

Often sick, frail, he was not expected to live. But live he did, and from a young age, he showed much devotion to work and a desire for learning. He was curious, and as he'd roam the woods near the Carver home, exploring flowers, trees, rocks, and birds, he began asking questions about their purpose.

While much of his education early on was self-motivated, he began formal schooling at ten. He learned of a school about eight miles from the Carver home. And without any money or a new home, he left the Carver's to attend this school, living in an old barn while doing odd jobs to earn money to survive. Eventually, he was adopted into a family there.

Education for George would continue through completing a Master's Degree in agriculture from Iowa State University in 1896. After which, he took a job as Head of the Agricultural Department at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.

George was also an artist. At the age of 30, Carver gained acceptance to Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, where he was the first Black student. Carver studied piano and art.

As an agricultural scientist and inventor, his goal was to help farmers improve their lives by earning more from their crops. He found hundreds of uses through his research of peanuts in particular and other products such as sweet potatoes and pecans. His work was instrumental and impactful. Between 1915 and 1918, acreage for peanut cultivation grew from half a million to over four million acres.

After George passed away in 1943, Franklin D. Roosevelt sent a message that said: "All mankind are the beneficiaries of his discoveries in the field of agricultural chemistry. The things which he achieved in the face of early handicaps will for all time afford an inspiring example to youth everywhere."

Paul Adams 1920-2013, joined the Tuskegee Airmen shortly after graduating from South Carolina State University. He flew with the 332nd Fighter Squadron (the famed "Red Tails") throughout WWII. He would retire from the military in 1962. He then would become a teaching in the Lincoln (NE) public school system. They named Adams Elementary school for him in 2008.

Paul Adams and his fellow Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American aviators in the U.S. military, whose distinguished record many historians credit with helping pave the way for the civil rights movement.

The group set an unprecedented record, flying more than 1,500 missions in Europe and North Africa. Adam served in nine major campaigns and received the Commendation Medal with three Oak Leaf clusters, each of which signifies subsequent bestowals of the same honor.

Doane College recognized him with the President's Honor of Distinction Award the same year. In 2007, he received the Congressional Gold Medal along with other Tuskegee Airmen, who were known as "guardian angels" by white airmen who were escorted by the African-American pilots during the war. Adams received a bronze replica at a ceremony in Lincoln. Doane College recognized him with the President's Honor of Distinction Award the same year.

And two years later, Adams, at President Barack Obama's invitation, attended the inauguration of the first black president along with other Tuskegee Airmen. Adams went on to become one of the first black teachers in LPS, and in 2008, his accomplishments were honored when the district named a new school after him.

He became a frequent visitor at Adams Elementary, where books about Tuskegee Airmen fill the library and teachers make a point to read them to students. The history became an integral part of Adams Elementary school
