Événement
Rosenwald
The incredible story of Julius Rosenwald, who never finished high school, but rose to become the President of Sears. Influenced by the writings of the educator Booker T. Washington, this Jewish philanthropist joined forces with the African American communites during the Jim Crow South to build over 5,300 schools during the early part of the 20th century. Inspired by the Jewish ideals of tzedakah (charity) and tikkunolam (repairing the world) and a deep concern over racial inequality in America, Julius Rosenwad used his wealth to become one of America's most effective philanthropists. Because of his modesty, Rosenwald's philanthropy and social activisim are not well known today. He gave away $62 million in his lifetime.
