At least George Washington Carver was a good man.

George Washington Carver once said:

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

All through his life, George Washington Carver saw no conflict between science and his faith. He called his laboratory “God’s Little Workshop” and said that he never invented anything; God showed it to him.

He also said: “Why should we who believe in Christ be so surprised at what God can do with a willing man in a laboratory? Some things must be baffling to the critic who has never been born again.”

In a letter to the New York Times in response to an editorial attempting to discredit Carver, the Tuskegee Institute and blacks in general, he wrote: “I regret exceedingly that such a gross misunderstanding should arise as to what was meant by ‘Divine inspiration.’ … Paul, the great Scholar, says, … in Galatians 1:12, For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
