Season 8 Episode 13

About the Episode

Founded by Booker T. Washington and Julius Rosenwald, the Rosenwald Schools were built to educate young Black children in the American South. The educator and philanthropist, who were from two different walks of life but understood supremacy and persecution because of their race and faith, collaborated on this program to advance education when it was segregated between Black and white students.
