I live just down the road from Tuskegee.  I've been to the George Washington Carver exhibit.

During the depression, both Tuskegee and Auburn worked on protein sources for poor people in the south.  Auburn developed aquaculture (raising catfish scientifically) during this time period.

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
