Philanthropists
New organizations set up to help African Americans in the South
welcomed financial support from northern philanthropies. Generous donations from
philanthropists such as George Peabody, Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller
provided schools, libraries, endowments, scholarships and support for teacher
training and industrial education. Alone, the Julius Rosenwald Fund (est. 1912)
helped build over 5,000 public schools for southern black
students.
