A Better Life for Their Children: Julius Rosenwald, Booker T. Washington, and the 4,978 Schools That Changed America

“A Better Life for Their Children is a welcome addition to the growing literature on the inspiring legacy of the Rosenwald schools. By presenting us with austerely beautiful photographs, revealing portraits, and carefully collected histories, Andrew Feiler captures an important chapter in the American story, one that has been in danger of being lost.” – review by Stephanie Deutsch “author of You Need a Schoolhouse: Booker T. Washington, Julius Rosenwald, and the Building of Schools for the Segregated South”
