This special episode explores the incredible legacy of businessman and visionary philanthropist Julius Rosenwald. How he was born to German Jewish immigrants, rose to become the President of Sears Roebuck and the meaningful way that his legacy continues to live on and have meaningful impact to this day…! Inspired by the Jewish ideals of tzedakah (charity) and tikkun olam (repairing the world) and a deep concern over racial inequality in America, Rosenwald used his wealth to become one of America's most effective philanthropists. Influenced by the writings of the educator Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald joined forces with African American communities during the Jim Crow era to build 5,300 schools, providing 660,000 black children with access to education in the segregated American South. The Rosenwald Fund also provided grants to support a who's who of African American artists and intellectuals and numerous artists that Eric represents and promotes, including Elizabeth Catlett, Jacob Lawrence, William Artis and others who were greatly helped by Rosenwald Foundation funds.   Featuring Community Leader Roger Smith; Eric's cousin from Virginia - from the very school that Eric's Mother attended that was built thanks to the generosity of Rosenwald that is an historic landmark… They discuss how Dunbar Schoolhouse came about, how the building itself had been assembled and how Roger, alongside his Family have been instrumental in restoring and maintaining the school. Preserving its history through an on-sight museum  — committed to keeping the story of Dunbar Schoolhouse alive..! The various wonderful community programs that they currently run and the significant role that the school plays in the community.  Filmmaker Aviva Kempner joins Eric from Washington. They discuss her feature-length historical documentary about Julius Rosenwald entitled “Rosenwald: A Remarkable Story of a Jewish Partnership with African American Communities” and all the wonderful things she learned in the process of making the film.  They discuss Rosenwald's background and life — the role of his Rabbi and how it motivated his philanthropic efforts… meeting Booker T. Washington and the strong friendship that they forged.  Realizing the need for and power of education as a way to uplift communities and becoming involved in building schools in the rural south. Addressing the needs for housing brought about by the Great Migration, funding the building of housing and YMCAs for African Americans and supporting countess artists and intellectuals including Marian Anderson, James Baldwin, Ralph Bunche, W.E.B. DuBois, Katherine Dunham, Ralph Ellison, John Hope Franklin, Zora Neale Hurston, Jacob Lawrence, Dr. Charles Drew, Augusta Savage, and Langston Hughes. His genius in “matching grants”, the way it made the community feel self-empowered and invested in the mission.  The theory of ‘spending down' and how its principles helped inspire other philanthropic institutions. The unique design and ingenuity of the building construction… the power of community and how his work continues to live on today. They explore what lead to her making movies — from being the daughter of a Holocaust Survivor, a passionate activist and viewing movies as a powerful tool to educate people. The many films she's made throughout her life and is in the process of producing and her dedication to telling stories that celebrate the lives of lesser-known Jewish heroes for over forty years…! For more on Eric's Perspective, visit www.ericsperspective.com#ERICSPERSPECTIVE #AFRICANAMERICAN #ART Connect with us ONLINE:  Visit Eric's Perspective website: https://bit.ly/2ZQ41x1 Facebook: https://bit.ly/3jq

In 1912, Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute and Julius Rosenwald, philanthropist and president of Sears Roebuck, built state-of-the art schools for African-American children across the South. The effort has been called the most important initiative to advance black education in the early 20th century. At its height, there were some 5300 Rosenwald schools in 15 states that educated more than 600,000 African American children. Join hosts Tom Price and Jo Ann McClellan with special guest Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle, professor of history at Middle Tennessee State University.

On this episode of Biotalk, Locust Walk's Andy Meyerson welcomes Dr. Lindsay Rosenwald, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fortress Biotech, a company focused on licensing and developing high-potential marketed and development-stage drugs. Lindsay shares his journey from physician to biotech entrepreneur and outlines Fortress Biotech's strategy of licensing high-potential marketed and development-stage drug candidates, avoiding early-stage technologies. They discuss how Fortress capitalizes on inefficiencies in the drug development market, such as acquiring drugs approved abroad but not in the US, and the role of AI in improving drug search and evaluation efficiency. Despite concerns about macroeconomic risks and changes in healthcare spending, Lindsay believes Fortress can navigate these challenges by being a low-cost producer of drug candidates. Subscribe or follow Biotalk on Apple Podcasts | Spotify. Timestamps: 1:26 Lindsay, you have had an interesting and varied career across finance in life sciences. I always find successful people's career arc fascinating – How did your career develop, and what lead you to your current role at Fortress Biotech? 3:58 What spurred your interest in life sciences? 5:26 What we hear over and over in our current discussions with investors is an interest in identifying high-quality assets from within pharma or biotechs that can be spun out into new companies. This has been gaining in attractiveness over the last 3 years as investor focus increases on clinical-stage assets. What I find interesting about this shift is that Fortress' strategy has been to do this since its founding. This leads me to a couple of questions: What do you think about this current investor trend? 10:15  How did you arrive on the Fortress business model? 14:11 What do you see as the overall implications for everyone now that so many people are hunting for the same opportunities? 17:12 What potential do you see for AI in revolutionizing drug discovery and development at Fortress Biotech? 19:52 What is your current view on the biotech market, and what trends do you foresee shaping the industry in the coming years? 22:09 Given the dynamic nature of biotech, how is Fortress Biotech positioning itself to navigate future challenges and opportunities?

“History Lives On: Preserving Alabama's Rosenwald Schools” was the topic presented during the June 30 meeting of the Clarke County Historical Society (CCHS). The speaker, Sam Christensen, is the exhibits coordinator with the Alabama Department of Archives and History (ADAH), and he discussed the ADAH exhibit on the African American schools that were built across the United States in the early 20th century as a collaboration between Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears Roebuck & Co., and Tuskegee Institute President Booker T. Washington. Rosenwald schools were often the first school building for African American students in a Southern community. Building a...Article Link

Nothing is the same at the apartment building where Mary Buford raised her family. The once-neglected courtyards on the side of the building are flush with grass and a rainbow of florals. In her first visit back in decades, Buford was quietly impressed at what has become of the complex.She'll be the first to tell you that living in the former Michigan Boulevard Garden Apartments was one of the high points of her life, and she is forever indebted to the chosen family of neighbors who saw her and her children through weddings, funerals and all of those moments in between.But that was a lifetime ago. --Host - Jon HansenReporter - Jamie Nesbitt GoldenThe Full Story Here Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom?

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Even in the worst of times great stories about compassionate people emerge. Stories such as the case of Julius Rosenwald, who in the tense days pf the early 19th Century was concerned that kids from African American families in the South were denied educational opportunities because of segregation laws. Rosenwald, who had achieved wealth at the managerial level of the Chicago based Sears and Roebuck company, became a major philanthropist and used much of his wealth to fight social problems. He cooperated with educator Booker T. Washington to help fund schools throughout the South that gave opportunities to minorities.  Kenneth Hoffman, the executive director of the New Orleans-based Museum of the of Southern Jewish Experience, joins Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde to tell the story of the Rosenwald schools, a movement that was eventually responsible for approximately 5000 new two-classroom schools. Of the schools built in Louisiana one building, in Donaldsonville, still stands and is used as a museum with an incredible story to display.

In this edition of EdChoice Chats, Robert Enlow, CEO and President of EdChoice, talks with Curtis Valentine co-director of the Reinventing America Schools Project at the Progressive Policy Institute. They discuss the Rosenwald Schools and a number of other topics including how education was formed and started, our current public education system and its impact on communities of color.

University of Iowa basketball phenom Caitlin Clark is nearing the end of her collegiate career, and closing in on the all-time NCAA scoring record. That record currently belongs to LSU's “Pistol Pete” Maravich, who scored 3,667 points in just 3 years before leaving for the NBA in 1970.  New York Times sports reporter and Louisiana native Jere Longman tells us more about Clark's journey to take Maravich's record and what this means for women's collegiate sports. This spring, the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in New Orleans will screen “Rosenwald,” a documentary on the Jewish philanthropist Julius Rosenwald who teamed up with Booker T. Washington to open more than 5,000 schools for Black children in the early 20th century. These screenings coincide with the museum's exhibit on Rosenwald Schools, in which photographer Andrew Feiler traveled throughout the South, documenting the Rosenwald schools that are still standing today — and sharing the stories behind them.In December, we spoke with Feiler about his photography project and combining his artwork with activism.

The Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in New Orleans has a new photo exhibit that tells the story of Rosenwald schools, a joint project started by Jewish philanthropist Julius Rosenwald and Black educator and activist Booker T. Washington in the early 1900s. Together, they built schoolhouses for Black children throughout the South, which for many, provided their first educational opportunity. Andrew Feiler traveled throughout the region collecting stories and taking photos of the more than 100 Rosenwald schools that remain. Most buildings have long been abandoned, while others have seen new life. He joins us for more on the schools and stories he captured on his journey.  To combat climate change, Louisiana has been at the center of a movement to capture carbon produced by industrial plants and store it underground. Now, the urgent need to lower planet-warming emissions also has companies looking to vacuum carbon dioxide directly out of the air  in a process known as direct air capture. A project proposed in southwest Louisiana would be one of the first in the country to do that.  The Coastal Desk's Halle Parker spoke with Floodlight investigative reporter Pam Radtke to learn more about the $600 million project and the national push to capture carbon.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

How do we reclaim traditions of home for our queer futures? Artists Leilah Babirye and Chiffon Thomas and host Gemma Rolls-Bentley discuss reconstructing the self, the permanence of lineage, and the historic weight of the heirlooms and materials they gravitate to in their sculptures.Chiffon Thomas is a multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles, incorporating embroidery, collage, drawing, and sculpture to explore the self as split, fractured, and transforming. Thomas contends with the crafted body in his work, examining wider issues of gender, race, and sexuality. Thomas holds an MFA from Yale University and a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work is currently on view at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum for his first solo museum exhibition, The Cavernous, and at the Hammer Museum for Made in LA 2023. Learn more about his practice at www.chiffonthomas.com. Find him on IG @c.chroniclesThe multidisciplinary practice of Leilah Babirye (b. 1985, Kampala) transforms everyday materials into objects that address issues surrounding identity, sexuality and human rights. The artist fled her native Uganda to New York in 2015 after being publicly outed in a local newspaper. In spring 2018, Babirye was granted asylum with support from the African Services Committee and the NYC Anti-Violence Project. Composed of debris collected from the streets of New York, Babirye's sculptures are woven, whittled, welded, burned and burnished. Her choice to use discarded materials in her work is intentional – the pejorative term for a gay person in the Luganda language is ‘ebisiyaga', meaning ‘sugarcane husk'. ‘It's rubbish,' explains Babirye, ‘the part of the sugarcane you throw out.'

Welcome to this week's Who The Folk?! Podcast, I'm Lonny Goldsmith, the editor of TC Jewfolk. This week, I talk with Kara Rosenwald, the mission coordinator of the Minneapolis Jewish Federation's Experience Israel 2023 trip. We talk about what led her to take the role, debrief on some of the highlights, and get a little hint about what's coming next for her, on this week's Who The Folk Podcast.

In the Jim Crow South, education opportunities for Black children were few and far between. The inequity was blatant all over the South, but the disparities in education were especially stark. Those in power did not see Black Americans as fit for any profession aside from manual labor and thought education was a waste of time. In 1911, when education leader Booker T. Washington met Julius Rosenwald, co-owner of Sears, Roebuck and Co. and a Jewish philanthropist, they changed the education landscape for Black children forever. Over the next 20 years, they partnered with rural Black communities to build schools so their children could get a quality education in a modern environment. In this episode, we talk to documentarians and alumni of a Middle Tennessee Rosenwald school to learn about these influential institutions. Guests: Andrew Feiler, photographer and author Frank Brinkley, alumni of Cairo school Charles Brinkley, Sr., alumni of Cairo school Matthew Gailani, curator at Tennessee State Museum DeLisa Harris, director of library services at Fisk University's John Hope and Aurelia E.

Dean is a fighter - in all senses of the word.  He fights Muay Thai, he fights MMA and, he fights FOR victims of Agent Orange in Vietnam. On a solo trip, Dean learned about Agent Orange, a chemical herbicide used by US troops in the Vietnam War that has caused millions of cases of illnesses, including birth defects, over multiple generations. Upon meeting Agent Orange victims, Dean was inspired to found An Phuc International, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting these victims. On today's episode, Dean candidly discusses the successes and challenging moments in his journey, encouraged by connections on the ground in Vietnam but often discouraged by fundraising and nonprofit management. This episode exemplifies our podcast's mission: honesty about the struggle of change-making while maintaining hope to keep moving forward. Also hear about Abigail's international hat-collecting , and Tim's amazingly smooth transitions. 

What happens when a community takes its educational future into its own hands? Funded by local advocates and a generous grant from the Rosenwald Fund, the Allen-White School served the African American community in Whiteville, Tennessee from 1920 until 1974. With thousands of graduates, the school helped shape the lives of multiple generations. Now, despite a 2012 arson attack, the alumni are working to restore the school buildings to once again serve the community. USC alumna and Tennessee native Brannon Smithwick dug into the stories of this influential school and the efforts to conserve it in her recent thesis, Educating Generations: The Legacy and Future of the Allen-White School Campus, A Rosenwald School in Whiteville, Tennessee. Through copious archival research and oral history interviews, Brannon learned firsthand the impact that one place can make.See episode page for photos and linksConnect with us @saveasnextgen on Instagram and Facebook

The workshop has been conducted for major businesses and brands like Google, Starbucks, Scholastic, Buzzfeed, and Johnson & Johnson, to name a few.  Here's what we covered on the episode:   How Laurie Got Her Creative Start Laurie describes her childhood and shares that she has been drawing since 3 years old and has never stopped   The mindset Laurie has always had of what mattered was art and creativity - she has never focused on business or making money which has allowed her to be freer than others The first paid project Laurie had was an illustration for a small editorial in the back of the New York Times Most people choose to do one thing and stick with it, but Laurie shares that she's always done graphic design, illustration, painting, and writing because she gets bored easily when she sticks to just one thing    Laurie always did freelance illustration but also worked with many different magazines and newspapers doing layout design, graphic design, and editorial design The story of how Laurie got the job at the New York Times Magazine by lying about her skills, but because they liked her, they taught her how to do her job After working for the New York Times Magazine, Laurie worked for Condé Nast, where she worked on the first issues of Self Magazine and Vanity Fair Magazine, plus so many other projects One of Laurie's favorite projects was working on a Bloomingdale's shopping bag in 1981, which they, unfortunately took her name off of because she wasn't famous Laurie has lived off and on in Sweden for many years and shares that she worked on products for the Swedish post office In the late 80s, Laurie worked on an album cover for Joe Jackson More recently, the most exciting things for Laurie to do are her own books because she gets to express herself and have the freedom to do whatever she wants The story of how Laurie created her own typeface called, Loupot, which is based on a logo she has always loved  Laurie started dabbling in animation while working with Nickelodeon and ended up doing an animated app with David Sedaris called David's Diary When it comes to awards, Laurie believes they don't really matter because there are so many awards, and no one ever asks to see them – she believes it shouldn't be what you focus on Making Mistakes on Purpose How, in the digital world, we've lost a bit of personalization, which Laurie believes is super important Laurie explains that her workshop, How to Make Mistakes on Purpose, is more about helping people do things they normally wouldn't and discover new things by sabotage because if you do the same thing over and over again because you've mastered a skill, you never discover anything new The point of Laurie's workshop is also to take the focus off doing one good thing and instead focus on creating as much as possible Laurie wants to combine what digital programs are good at and what human beings are good at and combine them Laurie shares a personal story about her life and how looking back, sometimes you think things are mistakes, but they aren't Because Laurie has done so many different things, her clients and projects are very diverse The most important thing to Laurie is to keep creating, and if people find her, that's great, but she's not making it a priority for her work to be known All of Laurie's books are a combination of humor and design because she wants to entertain people How Laurie feels that her books, How to Make Mistakes on Purpose and All the Wrong People Have Self-esteem are misunderstood as self-help books Laurie is excited about a memoir she's working on called, Memwah and is currently looking for the right agent, editor, and publisher and explains why she doesn't want to self-publish One thing Laurie wants to continue to do is bigger and better workshops – she shares that she's done them for brands like Google and Starbucks A goal of Laurie's is to find great companies and venues to experience How to Make Mistakes on Purpose The more digital the world gets, the more perfect the world gets, but Laurie says there's a problem with that, and we need to bring back the random and chaos to get somewhere new Reach out and connect with Laurie on Instagram, Twitter and check out her website to learn more about her   Links mentioned: Links mentioned: How to Make Mistakes on Purpose Book How to Make Mistakes on Purpose Workshop Laurie's 2019 Invisible Talk: How to Make Mistakes on Purpose Connect with Laurie on Instagram  Connect with Laurie on Twitter  Visit Laurie's Website Like what you heard?  Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.

Taking hostages and prisoners is not a new occurrence; people have been taken hostage by those seeking to gain a political upper hand for thousands of years. What is new today is that more US hostages currently are being held by foreign governments than by terrorist or militant groups. Some of the most recent, high-profile political prisoner cases are those of WNBA star and US citizen Brittney Griner and US citizen Paul Whelan. They have both been detained in Russian prisons, and with these wrongful detention cases featured so prominently in the news, many questions have arisen about prisoner swaps and how the process works. In this episode of Big World, our guest is Professor Danielle Gilbert, a Rosenwald fellow at Dartmouth College, Bridging the Gap fellow, and hostage diplomacy expert. Dani Gilbert discusses how the US determines wrongful detentions (2:20) and explains the difference between a hostage and a political prisoner (4:45). She talks about why Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan are being held in Russia and how they may be used as leverage by Russia in a negotiation process (6:05). She also explains how the US decides whom to offer in a prisoner swap and the reasons why some political prisoners get left behind in these deals (8:09). How have past US-Russia and US-Soviet prisoner swaps shaped relations, and do current tensions make a swap more difficult (13:30)? How does outside involvement and media coverage help or hinder prisoner swaps (22:47)? Dani answers these questions and discusses the impact of political prisoner swaps on both the families of the prisoners and the governments that are involved. The episode concludes as Dani shares her thoughts on the likelihood of an agreement between the US and Russia in which Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan are released together (28:13). During our “Take Five” segment, Dani shares the five policies she would enact to protect political prisoners around the world and help expedite the repatriation process (18:46).

Brittney Griner, the WNBA star and two-time Olympic gold medalist, remains detained in Russia after a court there sentenced her earlier this month to nine years in prison for carrying a small amount of hashish oil into the country. Her conviction and sentence came after a month-long trial widely denounced as a sham designed to give Russia political leverage over the United States. Griner's case, painful in its injustice, is not unique: foreign governments are unlawfully holding dozens of Americans, and government hostage-taking is on the rise. We'll talk about the impacts on families of political prisoners and what it may take to bring Griner and other Americans home. Guests: Jason Rezaian, global opinions writer, The Washington Post; author, "Prisoner: My 544 Days in an Iranian Prison–Solitary Confinement, a Sham Trial, High-Stakes Diplomacy, and the Extraordinary Efforts It Took to Get Me Out" Danielle Gilbert, Rosenwald fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy & International Security, Dartmouth College Kierra Johnson, executive director, National LGBTQ Task Force

Episode 229 of the Sports Media Podcast features two guests. First up is Dr. Dani Gilbert, a Rosenwald Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy and International Security at the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth College, and an expert on U.S. hostage policy and diplomacy. She is followed by T,J, Quinn, an investigative reporter for ESPN who has reported on the Griner case for ESPN.  In this podcast, Dr. Gilbert discusses the leverage value for Russia in this process; what "wrongfully detained" means legally and how it relates to Griner; Russia as a bad actor on the world stage; the process of how this negotiation will work; how she viewed the initial silence from the Griner camp at the start of Griner's incarceration; how Griner's sexuality and race plays a role in this case; who is specifically working on this case at the State Department; what you should do if you travel to a country like China or Russia; whether Griner will be treated more humanely given the high profile nature of her case, and more.  Quinn discusses his reporting on Griner and how he translated Griner's trial; what happens next as far as formal proceedings; how to acquire State Department sources; how much media coverage of the case will happen; Griner's current conditions; the social media aspect of the case; covering the case heading forward and more. You can subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, and more.

Summary John Gise joins Andrew (Twitter; LinkedIn) to discuss the Wall of Spies Experience. It features over 200 stories of espionage and sabotage in America since 1776. What You'll Learn Intelligence America's first Spymaster The Founding Father of American Counterintelligence  The New Yorker who adopted a Southern accent so she could spy on the Confederacy  The escaped enslaved man who was described as a “walking order of battle chart”  Reflections Educating a workforce on its past Dreaming about history And much, much more… Episode Notes The Wall of Spies Experience features over 200 stories of espionage, sabotage and betrayal from American history. The physical wall is a private museum on an intelligence community facility, but the second installment of the Digital Wall of Spies has recently been released. Thus far we have the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, with WWI coming up next.  Whether you want to get a sense of the evolution of espionage in America, dork out on a particular historical period, or just have a browse – we are sure you will agree that this National Counterintelligence & Security Center (NCSC) sponsored exhibit is a welcome contribution to the public's understanding of the history of intelligence and espionage. This week's guest is John Gise, for whom the Wall of Spies was a labor of love. He has had a number of different roles across the US government, including a stint in Special Forces, but for now, spies from American history are with him while awake…and while asleep.  And… If you've ever wondered why you can't visit the Statue of Liberty's torch, you need to listen to the teaser John provides at the end of this episode on the next installment of the Digital Wall of Spies (we'll give you a clue…it's the opposite of White Jerry). Quote of the Week "We've now posted online…the digital revolutionary war spies, the digital civil war spies…And we're talking in the revolutionary war about 30 continental army spies and British spies…for the civil war, it's about 25 Union spies and Confederate spies. And many of those spies are also Scouts, right? Collecting information, going behind enemy lines, conducting reconnaissance missions and collecting intelligence for their superiors." – John Gise.

Photographer Andrew Feiler's exhibit, "A Better Life for Their Children," on display at Charlotte Museum of History, spotlights the impact of Rosenwald Schools on American education. The exhibit is part of an initiative to restore the historic Siloam School, which was built to educate Black students in Charlotte in the early 20th century.

Brian Rosenwald joins Tim to talk about the rise of Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio. Brian is the co-editor of a daily Washington Post history blog called “Made by History.” He's a Scholar in Residence at the University of Pennsylvania. He's also the author of a new book called: “Talk Radio's America: how an industry took over a political party that took over the United States.” This Encore Episode was first released February 10, 2020. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Rush_Limbaugh.mp3 Talk radio didn't begin in the late 1980s. The earliest radio talk shows that had an impact were hosted by broadcasters named Joe Pyne, Bob Grant and Larry King. But the talk radio we know today, the one that has created a sea change in the nation's political dialogue, can trace its roots back to the 1980s when a number of factors came to a head at about the same time. The 1980s marked a resurgence of the Republican Party in Washington with the wave of national support that swept Ronald Reagan into the White House. During those same years, the AM radio format started to decline, losing music listeners to the clean and clear signals of FM stations. To carve out a niche and compete with FM, AM radio discovered that talk radio didn't require the same sound quality to attract an audience. Increasingly, AM radio programmed talk and news content on their schedules. In 1987, the FCC's Fairness Doctrine was repealed. The Fairness Doctrine had put restrictive guidelines on how radio stations could air political speech. With the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, radio stations were free to air news and talk programming that catered to specific audiences and specific points of view, regardless of political leanings. During this same period came the advent of less expensive satellite technology and cell phones. All of this opened the door to innovators who would figure out how to make political speech entertaining enough to attract an audience, and more importantly, to attract advertising revenue to those failing AM radio stations. One innovator, Rush Lumbaugh, in particular would lead the way. In the end, both the media and the political landscapes would be transformed.

More than 100 years ago, schools were built across the segregated South specifically for Black children. We speak with an author and photographer exploring the legacy of the Rosenwald Schools and why their influence continues to reverberate throughout the South.

During the decades many school systems disdained Black students, African-American parents found creative ways to line up education. In Harford County, parents scraped together resources for a tiny primary school, then decades later worked with civic leaders and lawmakers to expand it into a high school. Retired Army Col. Patricia Smith leads the effort to restore the Havre de Grace Colored School … where Janice Grant graduated in 1951: “There were times when only the teacher had a book. And we had to buy copy books. And the teacher would stand in front of the class and read the one book. And we would have to write it in the copy books. And that would be our books.”  Then author Philip Merrill tells about Rosenwald Schools in Maryland.  Links: The Havre de Grace Colored School Museum and Cultural Center, Education Week on preserving Rosenwald Schools, The Aegis Newspaper Janice E.

Reverend Dr. Grady Powell was always an activist. He spent his career both teaching and preaching and in both roles, he encouraged his students and his congregants to get involved in social justice movements. He led by example, challenging the white power structure in the school board, the voting registrar's office, the local newspaper, and in the streets, including at the famous Selma march. In this interview he talks about his favorite teacher from his Rosenwald schooling in Brunswick County, Virginia, his creative classroom assignments, and taking over leadership of Gilfield Baptist Church from famed Civil Rights activist, Wyatt Tee Walker.

Gorham Bird, Auburn University Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture, and Junshan Liu, Associate Professor of Building Science, talk with Carolyn Hutcheson, In Focus host, about their quest to document the remaining Rosenwald Schools in Alabama.  The schools were a joint project of philanthropist Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington to build schools to educate African American children in the rural South in the early 1900s.  Many of the schools were still in use until the advent of school integration.

Dr. Aisha Johnson will discuss her path to librarianship, archives, and discovery of the Julius Rosenwald Library Fund. Her title, The African American Struggle for Library Equality: The Untold Story of the Julius Rosenwald Fund Library Program, unveils the almost forgotten philanthropic efforts of Julius Rosenwald, former president of Sears, Roebuck, Co., and an elite businessman. Rosenwald simply desired to improve “the well-being of mankind” through access to education. The talk will extend into a discussion on the need for diversity for adequate representation in libraries and archives to provide service to all people. A talk on the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Access the captioned version of this webcast at https://youtu.be/stbkMPQslqc

Brian Rosenwald, the author of "Talk Radio's America," analyzes the influence of right-wing media echo chambers on the off-year elections and talks more broadly about the impact of media on voting patterns. Rosenwald also discusses some of the factors that make right-wing radio popular: hosts frame the world into good guys and villains, creating narratives that are like "pro-wrestling, a soap opera for men." He also argues there is no equivalent media ecosystem for a liberal audience. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Paul's guest is New Hampshire Senator Cindy Rosenwald. They touch on the New Hampshire abortion ban signed into law by Governor Chris Sununu, health care in the Granite State under the Affordable Care Act and the impact and challenges of medicaid expansion in New Hampshire.

Before nine Black students took their first steps inside Little Rock Central High School in 1957, testing the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education ruling for the first time, the most important educational institutions for Black students in the South were the 4,977 Rosenwald Schools co-founded by philanthropist Julius Rosenwald. According to Robert Stanton, the vice board chair of the Julius Rosenwald National Park Campaign, these Rosenwald schools should be memorialized as national historic sites, just like Little Rock Central High School, so no one can forget their importance. This week, Stanton, who also served as head of the National Park Service, joins Debi Ghate for a conversation about his childhood in segregated Texas, his career in the National Park Service and the courageous parents who pushed for desegregated schools and educational excellence for their children.

Monday on Political Rewind, a conversation with author and photographer Andrew Feiler about his new book, A Better Life for Their Children: Julius Rosenwald, Booker T. Washington, and the 4,978 Schools That Changed America. The books tells the story of the unique partnership between business executive Julius Rosenwald and educator and public intellectual Booker T. Washington. Together, the pair would help build enduring institutions of public education in Black communities across the South. Rosenwald grew up in a Jewish family and became the leader of one of the largest retailer in the world at the time, Sears, Roebuck & Company. A friendship and partnership with Booker T. Washington led the pair to raise money and support for the building of almost 5,000 schools for African American children between 1917 and 1937. Of the original 4,978 Rosenwald Schools across fifteen southern and border states, only about 500 survive. While some have been repurposed and a handful remain active schools, many remain unrestored and at risk of collapse. To tell this story visually, Andrew Feiler drove more than twenty-five thousand miles, photographed 105 schools, and interviewed dozens of former students, teachers, preservationists, and community leaders in all fifteen of the program states. Feiler, a fifth-generation Georgian, tells the stories of some of the students who went to the schools, including John Lewis and Maya Angelou.

Today we have the pleasure of sharing our interview with Greg Rosenwald. Tune in to learn more about Greg and how he has been able to live, work and play in a concentrated area while continuing to be a leader and push the bar higher every day. We loved this interview with Greg!

Andrew Feiler's visually compelling narrative documents the generational impact of a unique challenge grant program. Created by Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington, it served to educate Black children denied access to public schools. Through extensive research and diligent outreach Feiler weaves the irrevocably impacted life stories, with the historical and political benchmarks of desegregation. The threads reach to current historical figures such as the revered late Congressman, John Robert Lewis, a Rosenwald school alum, who wrote the book foreword, to luminaries such as Gordon Parks, Maya Angelou and James Baldwin, Rosenwald Fellowship recipients. In this book group, Andrew Feiler discusses, among other things:The concept awareness of creative choices to layer the intention of your visual narrativeThe power of education to change historyArt and activismThe role of the portrait as foreseen by Fredrick DouglassThe impact and intersection of civic involvement, economics, and politicsThe austere beauty of WIlliam Christenberry and the agency of the land to tell its own storyWhen in Arkansas be sure to visit Toadsuck and TurkeyscratchReferenced in the episodeFor autographed/personalized books“Rosenwald”, a film by Aviva KempnerIsabel Wilkerson - The Warmth of Other SunsNYTImes - Boston First Black Mayor - in 91 years!

In 1912, Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute and Julius Rosenwald, philanthropist and president of Sears Roebuck, built state-of-the art schools for African-American children across the South. The effort has been called the most important initiative to advance black education in the early 20th century. At its height, there were some 5300 Rosenwald schools in 15 states that educated more than 600,000 African American children. Join hosts Tom Price and Jo Ann McClellan with special guest Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle, professor of history at Middle Tennessee State University.

North Carolina has more Rosenwald Schools than any other state but today, Rosenwald Schools are something of an endangered species. Many of them have been destroyed and most that are still standing remain in disrepair. How many of us are standing on top of history that we just don't know? What impact might that have on our teaching and school leadership? Today we dive into the incredible local history around Rosenwald Schools, the Jeanes Teachers, and how community organizing was a central tenet of their overall success. This episode was recorded on location at the St. Matthew Rosenwald School, and I'm joined by Bettie Murchison, co-founder of the North Carolina Rosenwald Schools Coalition, and Pryce Baldwin, a legendary and retired WCPSS educator and former administrator for the Helping Hands Project of Wake County, which seeks to provide African American mentors for African American boys in elementary and middle schools. Mr. Baldwin is also a member of the St. Matthew Baptist Church and was instrumental in saving the building from planned demolition in the early 1990s. Both Bettie and Pryce attended NC Rosenwald Schools in their youth.Thank you again to Aviva Kempner and the Ciesla Foundation for your support of this project, and to Ann McColl of the Innovation Project of North Carolina. Hosted by Michael Parker West. 

Rosenwald Schools - In the early 20th century school for African-American children were built across the south by a Chicago philanthropist, who wanted to advance black education. One of those schools was just restored in Mars Hill. In this program we find out the role these schools played during the Jim Crow era and what they came to symbolize.
