In the 1900's there were about 3 daily and 150 weekly African American owned newspapers published in 26 states. Famous examples would include in 1901 The Guardian by Monroe Trotter and in 1905 the Chicago Defender by Robert S. Abbot. These Newspapers advocated the rights of African Americans, brought news of discrimination in the open and shunned the prejudice, as well as brought news to all average African Americans.

His ideas were based on ending the South’s dependence on cotton, therefore on sharecropping too and helping the damaged soil to recover. Carver developed more than 400 sub-products of those legumes he suggested to be used, 300 of them made of peanuts, which are still use nowadays. He was offered a job from Thomas Edison and Stalin which he both refused. He later founded the Carver Research Center at Tuskegee, which still works.
