A Better Life For Their Children

In the 1920s Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington left an indelible mark upon history, building nearly five–thousand schools across the South that provided Black students access to education during a time of segregation and limited opportunities. Discover the legacy of Rosenwald schools at the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience where their latest exhibition A Better Life For Their Children features twenty–three poignant photographs by Andrew Feiler, documenting the stories of these schools and their students. You will have a chance to meet Andrew and hear him give a lecture at the exhibit opening. 6:30 pm. $15. msje.org.
