Sunday Screening “Rosenwald”

May 19 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Free

Rosenwald is a documentary on the incredible story of how businessman and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald joined with African-American communities in the South to build schools for them during the early part of the 20th century. This historical partnership as well as the modern-day attempts to maintain or reconfigure the schools is a great dramatic story, yet too little-known.

Stick around after the movie for panel discussion!

Sunday Screenings are always free and open to the public.
