The Statue of Liberty, a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York City, in the United States. The Statue is the work of sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, who enlisted the assistance of engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, designer of the Eiffel Tower.

The Statue of Liberty was completed in 1884 in France and shipped to the United States in June 1885, having been disassembled into 350 individual pieces that were packed in over 200 crates for the transatlantic voyage. In four months’ time, it was re-assembled in New York Harbor, standing just over 151 feet from the top of the statue’s base to the tip of the torch her right hand holds high above the waters of New York Harbor.

Originally intended as a gift to celebrate the American Centennial in 1876, the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States as a symbol of the friendship forged between the new American government and the government of France during the American Revolutionary War.

George Washington Carver (c. 1864 – 1943), born into slavery at the close of the Civil War, emerged as a pioneering figure in American agricultural science and innovation during the early 20th century. Educated in botany and agriculture at Iowa State Agricultural College, he later became a professor at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where he dedicated 47 years to teaching agricultural methods. Recognizing the detrimental effects of cotton monoculture on soil quality in the South, Carver championed alternative crops and sustainable farming practices to uplift impoverished farmers.

At Tuskegee, Carver spearheaded research and development efforts aimed at diversifying crops and revitalizing depleted soils. His advocacy for crop rotation, alternating cotton with nitrogen-fixing legumes like peanuts and peas, revolutionized agricultural practices, enhancing soil fertility and crop yields. Furthermore, Carver's innovative spirit extended to his exploration of the multifaceted uses of alternative crops, including peanuts, sweet potatoes, and pecans. Through his pioneering research, he unveiled hundreds of practical applications for these crops, ranging from food products to industrial materials.

Beyond his scientific contributions, Carver's advocacy for environmental sustainability and social empowerment resonated widely, earning him acclaim and recognition beyond racial divides. Honored with prestigious awards such as the Spingarn Medal, Carver's legacy continues to inspire generations, symbolizing the transformative power of innovation, education, and compassion in addressing societal challenges.
