A little-known fact: Julius Rosenwald, Sears CEO/owner and 20-year member of the Tuskegee board, helped build 5,000 African American schools throughout the South, including Etowah and adjacent counties. At one point, 40 percent of Black children in the South attended Rosenwald schools. Join us for a look at the man, his influence in education, and Rosenwald schools in and around our area.
