Norman H. Finkelstein will talk about his new book, Schools of Hope: How Julius
Rosenwald Helped Change African American Education. At the beginning of the
20th century, during a time of segregation and great desparity, the wealthy
Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company set up a special fund to
build schools for African American children. Schools of Hope is the story of
that endeavor for readers eight and up. Recently retired as a public school
librarian, Finkelstein continues as a longtime faculty member in the Prozdor
Department of Boston's Hebrew College. He is the author of eighteen nonfiction
books for adults and young readers. Two of his titles, Heeding the Call and
Forged in Freedom won the National Jewish Book Award. His biography of Edward
R. Murrow, With Heroic Truth, received the Golden Kite Honor Award for
Nonfiction. Norman Finkelstein is a guest of the UConn Co-op Bookstore at
Storrs Center, The University of Connecticut Judaic Studies Department, The
University of Connecticut African American Studies Institute and the Northeast
Children's Literature Collection. Schools of Hope: How Julius Rosenwald Helped
