Andrew Carnegie led the expansion of the steel industry during the late 19th century, becoming one of the wealthiest men in American history.
After his retirement in 1901, he became a philanthropist, believing in the "Gospel of Wealth," meaning wealthy people were obligated to give money back to members of society. Hear how Carnegie's philanthropic interests centering around education and world peace led to the establishment of public libraries.
Andrew Carnegie is portrayed by Terry Lynch, a professional actor performing on stage, television, film and radio in the Chicagoland area for more than 40 years. He has also appeared regularly on the WGN Morning Shoe. He and his wife Laura, a certified educator, began Histories for Kids/HFK Presents more than 20 years ago as a way to bring history to life for all ages.
