how do you spell this club?

I found the link,Susan

That sounds like what Andrew Carnegie required for public library construction in the same era.

What is the total amount invested by Rosenwald to construct all the school houses? Why did all these close?

Skokie Public Library bought the book at my request. I it read over the weekend. It looks to me that a good percentage of the schools were funded by the local churches. Is this correct. These schools were built before prayer was banned from schools

What was the amount of the fellowships?

Question:Were you aware of Aviva Kempner’s film about Julius Rosenwald and if so, how did it influence your work?

Is there evidence of active anti-Semitism in these communities—from KKK and organized white nationalist forces, or even from within the Black community?

1) How many cities that had Rosenwald schools had Jewish owed stores? 2) Did any of these store owners contribute to the building of these schools publiclly

You mentioned the 9x9 windows. Were there other architectural rules or set floor plans a la the Sears kit homes Rosenwald knew well, or was it largely driven by the local community?

I want to thank Marshall Jacobson for letting me know about this presentation. Fascinating. I attended a Rosenwald School, which has a Historical Marker in a small rural town, Atmore, AL. Sadly, the school is in disrepair I think the generation that knows the background of the Rosenwald school, no longer lives in Alabama or has joined the heavenly realm.

Yes, I will be getting your book.

rosewald had a calculation of how he contributed t o each school very little came from him each community had to contribute more than 50%

Carnegie Library funding by communities:“Funding was in extremely high demand, as few public libraries had dedicated spaces of their own. Carnegie began to use a formula to determine which of the many requests he would fund. Rather than endowing libraries, Carnegie required each town to contribute ten percent of the annual funding to its library, supply its own building site, and provide free service to the public.”https://dp.la/exhibitions/history-us-public-libraries/carnegie-libraries/funding-carnegie-libraries?item=1429

Why were there no Rosenwald Schools in the north and west?

Thank you. Great presentation. Need to leave now.

Rosenwald was highly influenced by washingtons advice.

I have just checked for your book on the Chicago Public Library website. Four copies are available, all at neighborhood libraries in overwhelmingly black areas of the city. Is this typical in your experience? I certainly think it is important for white people to know about this story as well as black communities who are much more likely to know something about it already. More broadly, how have you been conveying this story to people of all races?

Your images are stunning! Thank you for a wonderful presentation and this important book.

Glad that CPL finally has it. I had been checking for several months.

Love the book!! What do you think we could learn from the example of the Rosenwald schools that could create positive change today

Excellent presentation! Learned so many new things!
