This handsome book is a happy marriage of photography and text in which Andrew Feiler tells the story of the Rosenwald Schools through interviews with many people whose lives they touched and images that will live long in the minds of those who see them., Andrew Feiler's crisp and sumptuous images of those schools and their prominent alumni, as they are now, provide us precisely what those teachers provided their students: the opportunity and the inspiration to imagine the excitement that rippled when young intellects connected, when fear flew away, when self-respect filled the void. Through Feiler's eyes and his words, we can see all the good that has come from the resistance that was nurtured inside these community wombs., Better than any previous teller of the Rosenwald school story, Andrew Feiler conveys not just how the schools were built but also the love and hard work whereby the surviving structures endured over the generations., A Better Life for Their Children is a welcome addition to the growing literature on the inspiring legacy of the Rosenwald schools. By presenting us with austerely beautiful photographs, revealing portraits, and carefully collected histories, Andrew Feiler captures an important chapter in the American story, one that has been in danger of being lost., Andrew Feiler's bold, straight-ahead black-and-white images lay bare the spiritual quality of history that comes from old buildings., Andrew Feiler's call comes at a time when, he says, Americans need to be reminded of their capacity to work together toward positive change., In luminous images and touching testimony from many who were rescued by education and aspiration from the worst of southern white racism, Andrew Feiler has captured the story of what may have been the most important campaign of personal philanthropy in twentieth-century America-an astounding effort that brought literacy and learning to hundreds of thousands of black children in the darkest days of Jim Crow segregation. A Better Life is also a revelatory window into the origins of the Jewish and African American partnership that for decades has advanced the struggle for civil rights in the United States., Between photos, he weaves stories of the Rosenwald School program brought to light through historical research and interviews during his travels., Andrew Feiler's photographs preserve an essential civil rights history with the inspiring story of the Rosenwald schools. And this history continued through the descendants of the schools and their creators, including the late John Lewis, Medgar Evers, and Maya Angelou. At a time when racial inequity in education remains a scourge, Feiler's book provides context and hope., Andrew Feiler's photographs and stories bring us into the heart of the passion for education in black communities: the passion of teachers who taught multiple grades and dozens of students in a single classroom; the passion of parents and neighbors who helped to raise the money to build our schools and then each year continued to reach deep to purchase school supplies; the passion of students like me who craved learning, worked hard, and read as many books as we could put our hands on., This book is recommended for academic and public libraries as well as those interested in African American history, photography, and preservation., Feiler's call comes at a time when, he says, Americans need to be reminded of their capacity to work together toward positive change...

Synopsis
A Sarah Mills Hodge Fund publication Born to Jewish immigrants, Julius Rosenwald rose to lead Sears, Roebuck & Company and turn it into the world's largest retailer. Born into slavery, Booker T. Washington became the founding principal of Tuskegee Institute. In 1912 the two men launched an ambitious program to partner with black communities across the segregated South to build public schools for African American children. This watershed moment in the history of philanthropy--one of the earliest collaborations between Jews and African Americans--drove dramatic improvement in African American educational attainment and fostered the generation who became the leaders and foot soldiers of the civil rights movement. Of the original 4,978 Rosenwald schools built between 1917 and 1937 across fifteen southern and border states, only about 500 survive. While some have been repurposed and a handful remain active schools, many remain unrestored and at risk of collapse. To tell this story visually, Andrew Feiler drove more than twenty-five thousand miles, photographed 105 schools, and interviewed dozens of former students, teachers, preservationists, and community leaders in all fifteen of the program states. A Better Life for their Children includes eighty-five duotone images that capture interiors and exteriors, schools restored and yet-to-be restored, and portraits of people with unique, compelling connections to these schools. Brief narratives written by Feiler accompany each photograph, telling the stories of Rosenwald schools' connections to the Trail of Tears, the Great Migration, the Tuskegee Airmen, Brown v. Board of Education , embezzlement, murder, and more. Beyond the photographic documentation, A Better Life for Their Children includes essays from three prominent voices. Congressman John Lewis, who attended a Rosenwald school in Alabama, provides an introduction; preservationist Jeanne Cyriaque has penned a history of the Rosenwald program; and Brent Leggs, director of African American Cultural Heritage at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, has written a plea for preservation that serves as an afterword., A Sarah Mills Hodge Fund publication Born to Jewish immigrants, Julius Rosenwald rose to lead Sears, Roebuck & Company and turn it into the world's largest retailer.
