HENRY FORD AND GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER were men of different races but one mind: that of the inventor. Ford, known for his more enlightened views toward African Americans, developed a warm friendship with Carver, who had the same interest in peanuts as Ford did in soybeans. Ford eventually named one of his laboratories after Carver.
