In the early 20th century, Julius Rosenwald, the son of German Jewish immigrants, President of Sears, Roebuck & Co., and visionary philanthropist, partnered with Booker T. Washington and African American communities to build 4,977 schools for African American children across the Jim Crow south. Learn more about this inspiring story and the Campaign to create a new National Historical Park to preserve the overall life and legacy of Rosenwald and the impact of Rosenwald Schools on US history.

Join us for a screening of the award-winning short film ‘Rosenwald: Toward a More Perfect Union’. Followed by a panel discussion about why we must honor the legacy of this great Jewish American.
