His contributions to farming and agriculture saved the farming industry that currently feeds the world.&nbsp; For his achievements, he was honored with a National Holiday by Congress on the day of his death, January 5, 1943.&nbsp; This little known holiday is not celebrated to the heights appropriate to its significance.&nbsp; We propose the proper resurrection of this seventy-eight year old dormant holiday which was a significant first for African Americans in the form of a National Holiday.&nbsp; Our project will promote the holiday to be accepted on a national platform where citizens may pay respect, observance, and reflection of this great American.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 5th, 2026, the George Washington Carver National Holiday will be in existence for 80 years.&nbsp; Our organization will galvanize resources and make a clarion call for the holiday to receive its true accolades.&nbsp; The promotion of the National Holiday will inspire present and future generations to persevere even under arduous conditions; and allow their innate creativity to soar beyond oppression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. George Washington Carver is one of the most important Americans of the 20th century.&nbsp;
