Biographical Text

Julius Rosenwald was a co-owner and leader of Sears, Roebuck & Company. Had his start in business by founding a clothing company with his brother and cousin, Rosenwald and Weil Clothiers. He was a founder of the Rosenwald Fund, known for providing millions of dollars in funds to support African American children in the rural south. He also worked with Booker T. Washington to build schools for African American children in the South. Rosenwald was also a founder and backer of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. He served as the museum's President from 1927 to 1932. Rosenwald married Augusta Nusbaum in 1890. They had five children, Adele, Lessing, Marion, William, and Edith. Rosenwald died in 1932. Rosenwald devoted much of his time and money to philanthropy after being inspired by the social progressivism of people such as Jane Addams. The pair often corresponded over social issues and the groups that they belonged to. Rosenwald made annual donations to Hull-House and served as a member of the Hull-House board of trustees.
