Rosenwald Alumni
Maya Angelou and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) are among the alumni of schools created by the partnership between former slave and Tuskegee Institute founder Booker T. Washington and Sears, Roebuck & Co., catalogue magnate Julius Rosenwald.
School Life
School life was not equal for black students in the south, however, with the introduction of Rosenwald Schools, it helped level the playing field. Rosendwald Schools are known for their large windows. Due to a lack of electricity, the school would be built facing the sun and equipped with a partition that would allow the students to utilize sun light for reading and writing.
