NorthJersey.com: Philanthropist lives on in the art of those he helped

NorthJersey.com: Philanthropist lives on in the art of those he helped: "For generations, the big names in American philanthropy have been household words: Carnegie, Rockefeller, Rosenwald.

Rosenwald?

Not a household word, true. But without the philanthropy of Julius Rosenwald, these names might not have become familiar to us as the great artists they were: Marian Anderson, Zora Neale Hurston, Gordon Parks, W.E.B. DuBois, Katherine Dunham, Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison, Jacob Lawrence, Haywood Bill Rivers, Woody Guthrie, and Hale Woodruff."
