Julius Rosenwald’s life was forever changed when he met Booker T. Washington, the well known black educator. Washington introduced the president of Sears and Roebuck and Company to the deplorable conditions of African American schools in the South. In just twenty years, Rosenwald helped to financially support the building of more than 5,300 well- designed and better equipped Southern schools.
