On Sunday, October 2, the Rosenwald Collaborative and Mars Hill University are presenting a panel from 3–4:30 p.m. at Broyhill Chapel. Kenneth Morris, Peter Ascoli and Stephanie Deutsch will appear together to share memories and knowledge of their ancestors.
All of the speakers have a connection to either Booker T. Washington, the founder of Tuskegee Institute, or Julius Rosenwald, the president of Sears, Roebuck, and Company. Rosenwald and Washington partnered in the early 1900s to build almost 6,000 elementary schools in the south for children of color. One of these schools is located in the Long Ridge community, and is known as the Mars Hill Anderson Rosenwald School (MHARS).
Malaprop's will be on site to sell books.
