Carver's most important accomplishments were in areas other than industrial products from<br />

peanuts, including agricultural extension education, improvement of racial relations,<br />

mentoring children, poetry, painting, religion, advocacy of sustainable agriculture <strong>and</strong><br />

appreciation of plants <strong>and</strong> nature. He served as a valuable role model for African-Americans<br />

<strong>and</strong> an example of the importance of hard work, a positive attitude <strong>and</strong> a good education.<br />

His humility, humanitarianism, good nature, frugality <strong>and</strong> lack of economic materialism have<br />

also been widely admired.<br />

One of his most important roles was that the fame of his achievements <strong>and</strong> many talents<br />

undermined the widespread stereotype of the time that the black race was intellectually<br />

inferior to the white race. In 1941, "Time" magazine dubbed him a "Black Leonardo".<br />

"Jonas Edward Salk (October 28, 1914 – June 23, 1995) was an American biologist <strong>and</strong><br />

patent the sun?"<br />

<strong>The</strong> Renaissance (from French Renaissance, meaning "rebirth"; Italian: Rinascimento, from<br />

re- "again" <strong>and</strong> nascere "be born") was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th<br />

through the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the late Middle Ages <strong>and</strong> later spreading to the<br />

rest of western Europe. It encompassed a revival of learning based on classical sources, the<br />

development of linear perspective in painting, <strong>and</strong> educational reform. <strong>The</strong> Renaissance saw<br />

<strong>and</strong> the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci <strong>and</strong> Michelangelo, who have<br />

inspired the term "Renaissance men".<br />

However, it was not until the nineteenth century that the French word Renaissance<br />

achieved popularity in describing the cultural movement that began in the late 13th<br />

century" (1200 AD - 1300 AD).<br />

<strong>The</strong> term was first used retrospectively by the Italian artist <strong>and</strong> critic Giorgio Vasari (1511-<br />
