任教于塔斯提吉学院

美国内战解放了黑奴，但却未能教导他们如何过自由的生活。在战后，开始出现帮助训练非裔美国人的学校，阿拉巴马州塔斯提吉学院（Tuskegee Institute）于1881年成立，也是最知名的训练学校之一。布克华盛顿（Booker T. Washington）是当时塔斯提吉学院的校长，校内的课程指导学生包括木工、印刷、砌砖、家政等工作技能，塔斯提吉学院也提供针对国小老师的训练课程。

在1896年，布克华盛顿希望寻找一位能在塔斯提吉学院教授农业技术的老师，乔治华盛顿卡佛此时正好取得了爱荷华州立大学农业科学的硕士学位，因此华盛顿便邀请卡佛担任此职务。卡佛此时说了些什么？

The Civil War freed the slaves, but it didn't teach them how to live as free people. After the war, schools were created to help train African Americans. Tuskegee Institute in Alabama opened in 1881, and it was one of most famous training schools. Booker T. Washington was its president. Job skills such as carpentry, printing, brick making, and home economics were taught there. Tuskegee also provided training for elementary school teachers.

In 1896, Booker T. Washington needed someone to teach agriculture at Tuskegee. George Washington Carver was just finishing his master's degree in agriculture science at Iowa State. Washington offered Carver the job. What did Carver say?
