GROUP DAY TRIP TO CHICAGO





It could not have been nicer day trip :
•Beth Shalom B’nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation (House of Peace for the Children of the Ancient Ethiopian Hebrews) for discussion on it’s history and a marvelous lunch.

• A Force for Change African American Art and the Julius Rosenwald Fund
this is the first exhibition to explore the legacy of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, created in 1917 by Chicago businessman and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald (1862-1932), who made his fortune as CEO of Sears, Roebuck and Company. From 1928 to 1948, the Rosenwald Fund's Fellowship Program awarded stipends to hundreds of African American artists, writers, teachers, and scholars-many with ties to Chicago-as well as white southerners with an interest in race relations.
