The Museum is proud to offer a Free Community Day on Saturday, April 5, in honor of Booker T. Washington’s birthday. The commemoration coincides with our new special exhibition, A Better Life for Their Children: Julius Rosenwald, Booker T. Washington, and the 4,978 Schools that Changed America. Photographs and Stories by Andrew Feiler.

Learn about the legacy of a transformative initiative in American history forged by Booker T. Washington, a Black educator, author, and reformer, and Julius Rosenwald, a Jewish businessman and philanthropist. Between 1912 and 1937, their ambitious program partnered with local communities to build thousands of schools for Black children, which countered the deep educational disparities of Jim Crow, had a profound impact on our nation, and fostered a generation of civil rights leaders.

In addition to free admission, there will be gallery talks inside the special exhibition, film screenings, and family-friendly activities throughout the day.

Free admission and programming are made possible through the support of Amazon.
