Julius Rosenwald

Aviva Kempner who recently met with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association as part of our Roundtable series talked about the documentary she made about businessman and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, who partnered with Booker T. Washington and African American communities to build over 5,000 schools in the Jim Crow South, and whose Rosenwald Fund also provided grants to support a Who's Who of African American artists and intellectuals.
