A fact from Rosenwald School appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 March 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that over 5,000 Rosenwald Schools in the United States were built primarily for the education of African Americans with funds donated by Julius Rosenwald, who was part-owner of Sears, Roebuck and Company?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/March.

Did You Know

...that over 5,000 Rosenwald Schools, shops, and teachers' homes in the southern portion of the United States were built primarily for the education of African Americans by Julius Rosenwald, who was part-owner of Sears, Roebuck and Company?

Realized that not all schools were in southern states and matching funds were required for grants, so blurb is corrected as follows for accuracy:

...that over 5,000 Rosenwald Schools, shops, and teachers' homes in the United States were built primarily for the education of African Americans with funds donated by Julius Rosenwald, who was part-owner of Sears, Roebuck and Company? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaoverland (talk • contribs) 12:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Julius Rosenwald = Lessing Julius Rosenwald

I believe that the philanthropist Julius Rosenwald cited in this article on the Rosenwald School is the same person as Lessing Julius Rosenwald the businessman, who has his own Wikipedia page but which does not mention his philanthropy nor the schools. Perhaps a more knowledgable editor could link the two articles together? Claudia Bestor — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.79.235.194 (talk) 02:45, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had a photo of the Rosenwald school in Lima, Oklahoma to share. I realized that there was a large number of Rosenwald school photos on commons, and that they show a diversity of location, architecture, and preservation status. I know galleries are not encouraged in wikipedia articles, but I think having these photos all together adds to one's understanding of what these meant to their communities and the scope of the project. For this reason I think a gallery is importantDawg161 (talk) 21:37, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington

I provided a link to the WP article "Julius Rosenwald." I would like to propose that the biographical information about JR be omitted in this section.

I would also like to recommend that this section be renamed "The Rosenwald-Washington Partnership" to reflect the unique nature of their joint work. This is the key theme of the Stephanie Deutsch source.

Any thoughts? BrandenburgG (talk) 11:22, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Plural name

Wouldn't it make sense to change the name of the page to Rosenwald Schools since it's describing more than one school? ChillyBlanket (talk) 01:04, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
