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. Rosenwald Schools were built through matching funds and community partnerships that reshaped education across the American southeast during the early twentieth century.
