Held in High Esteem

Monday, December 21, 2009

He was born a slave in 1864.  By the end of his life, presidents and corporate titans valued his friendship.

They appreciated his scientific genius, yes.  But they esteemed him more as a principled man who marshaled his giftings in the service of others.

George Washington Carver poured into those in his sphere of influence.  About his students at Tuskegee, he said:

O how I want them to get the fullest measure of happiness and success out of life. I want them to see the Great Creator in the smallest and apparently the most insignificant things about them. How I long for each one to walk and talk with the Great Creator through the things he has created.

Tom Howard is scoring our newest film now; we’ll then record the final narration and have the story of the visionary George Washington Carver ready for release in late January.
