Southern Vermont College will host filmmaker Aviva Kempner on Tuesday, November 15, at 7 p.m. at Oldcastle Theatre in Bennington for a community showing of her critically-acclaimed documentary, “Rosenwald.” The film tells the remarkable story of Sears Roebuck businessman/philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, who in the early 1900s used his considerable wealth to build more than 5,000 schools to help African-Americans in the South. The screening will be followed by a brief talk by Kempner and opportunity for Q & A with the award-winning producer and director. The film and talk are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
