Rosenwald, Booker T, and 5,300 black schools in the South
Julius Rosenwald with Booker T. Washington and the proliferation of over 5,000 sturdy schools for our people throughout the South during the "nadir" in our history. Thank you Mr. Rosenwald for the money to build! Thank you Mr. Washington for the vision to see our need and for recruiting Mr. Rosenwald! http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/14/movies/review-rosenwald-on-a-philanthropist-who-created-schools-for-blacks-in-the-jim-crow-south.html?_r=1
