Filmmaker Aviva Kempner will be in Charlotte this weekend in support of her latest documentary, Rosenwald. The film relates the story of Sears president Julius Rosenwald and how he teamed with Booker T. Washington to build 5,300 schools for African-Americans during the Jim Crow era in the South. Among those who attended Rosenwald schools were poet Maya Angelou and Tony Award-winning playwright George Wolfe, while those who received Rosenwald grants included Langston Hughes, Gordon Parks, Ralph Ellison and Zora Neale Hurston.
