Details: | Born to Jewish immigrants, Julius Rosenwald rose to lead Sears, Roebuck & Company and turned it into the world’s largest retailer of its time. Born into slavery, Booker T. Washington became the founding principal of the Tuskegee Institute. In 1912 these two men launched an ambitious program to partner with Black communities across the segregated South to build public schools for African American children. This watershed moment in the history of philanthropy drove dramatic improvement in African American educational achievement and fostered the generation who became leaders of the civil rights movement.
