Washington DC's National Building Museum hosts an exhibition based on the story of Jewish businessman and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald and Black educator, author and reformer Booker T. Washington.

The exhibition is constructed around photographs taken by curator Andrew Feiler in the schools that the partnership built in fifteen states of the segregated Deep South, providing opportunities for Black children in early 20th-century America.
