Summary: This book tells an untold civil rights history regarding the African-American rights back in 17th to 18th century. The story focuses on Julius Rosenwald`s Fund Library Program. He was a former president of Sears, Roebuck, Co. and an elite businessman. Rosenwald has established thousands of rural schools and buildings that he built in fifteen Southern states during that time, in order to share knowledge to everyone no matter what skin colour. It is an inspiring read and in my opinion, we will and shall never stop learning.
