Experience the incredible true story of community, education, and legacy of the Rosenwald schools. Event Details Directed by Aviva Kempner, Rosenwald is the story of Julius Rosenwald, a Jewish businessman and philanthropist who joined forces with Booker T. Washington and African American communities in the segregationist Jim Crow South to build more than 5,000 schools.
