A Better Life for Their Children: Julius Rosenwald, Booker T. Washington, and the 4,978 Schools that Changed America tells the story of the Rosenwald schools that expanded education and shaped a generation of Black leaders who helped give rise to the Civil Rights Movement.
The exhibit features 23 black and white photographs of Rosenwald Schools across America as they exist today by photographer Andrew Feiler. The photographs, along with narratives written by Feiler and artifacts from Texas Rosenwald schools, explore the partnerships that created the schools, their legacy and the people fighting to save them.
The exhibition is presented in English and Spanish.
