The Julius Rosenwald Fund<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the second decade of the twentieth century, Julius Rosenwald (1862-1932), president of Sears, Roebuck and Company and a Chicago philanthropist, learned of the inadequate provision of education in the rural South for African Americans.\u00a0 Subsequently, from the late 1910s to the early 1930s, a fund that he established built over 5,300 schools from Maryland to Texas.\u00a0 The fund\u2019s approach was primarily to offer architectural plans and matching grants.\u00a0 More information on these schools can be found at:<\/p>\n
