Rosenwald, a merchant and philanthropist, was inspired to help educate African-Americans in the South after he read a copy of Up from Slavery. Johnson-Jones is the author of, The African American Struggle of Library Equality: The Untold Story of the Julius Rosenwald Fund Library Program. The lecture is co-hosted by the School of Information Sciences, UT Libraries, and the Office of Multicultural Student Life.
