Julius Rosenwald, the son of German Jewish immigrants, helped make Sears Roebuck the retailing powerhouse of the early twentieth century and then used his enormous wealth to become a transformative philanthropist. He helped build nearly 5,000 Rosenwald Schools in 15 states that educated one-third of Southern African Americans during the Jim Crow era. The Julius Rosenwald Fund also awarded nearly 900 fellowships to highly talented men and women, most of whom were early in their careers. Two-thirds of them were African Americans. Learn about the life and legacy of Rosenwald and the Campaign to create a National Park to commemorate him and the Rosenwald Schools.
This CC Clue event is In support of the Julius Rosenwald & Rosenwald Schools National Historical Park Campaign, and is a partnership between the CSI Library, Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, School of Education, and the History Department.
