Did you know that a Jewish guy basically give African-Americans a leg up in America, in a time when everyone wanted to chop off their legs? It’s true! This Jewish guy made Sears & Roebuck zillions of dollars, and himself lots of money, and then he gave some of his money to help build schools for blacks in the south! Without this man – Julius Rosenwald - there may not have been no Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Civil Rights movement, or Barack Obama for President!!! IT’S (POSSIBLY) TRUE!!!!!

And it’s all told in this fantastic new doc by Aviva Kempner – Rosenwald

And Avia Kempner is fantastic!  (she’s a friend and colleague, so there’s no verdict here, juss a demand that you go and see it!)

And be sure to see her other great docs – Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg + The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg.  ALL ESSENTIAL VIEWING!!!

Rosenwald gives and you get in NY this Friday, and elsewhere elsewhen

and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
