This presentation will highlight George Washington Carver and 1890 Universities partnership with USDA.  George Washington Carver was a scientist, educator, and researcher at Tuskegee University over 47 years.  The Historically Black Land-Grant Universities have developed teaching, research, and extension programs that reach historically underserved students and communities. The 1890 Land-Grant Universities were established by the Morrill Act of 1890.   USDA partners with the 1890 Land-Grant Universities for assisting USDA in reaching the communities served by these Universities, with focus on the underserved, minority and limited resource producers.
