Summary:
Tells the story of
how
wealthy businessman
Julius
Rosenwald
came to financially support the building of 5,300
schools
in rural African-American communities that desperately needed them over the course of twenty years. When Booker T. Washington, the famed
African
American
educator, asked
Julius
Rosenwald
, the wealthy president of Sears, Roebuck and Company and noted philanthropist, to help him build well-designed and fully equipped
schools
for black children, the face of
education
in the South changed for the better. It was the early 1900s, a time of discrimination, racial segregation, and inadequate
education
for
African
Americans.
Rosenwald
created a special fund that in just twenty years built more than 5,300
schools
attended by 600,000 black students.
