From the discovery of calcium carbide and acetylene gas as a chemistry student to working with Henry Flagler to expand the East Coast Railroad in Florida, William R. Kenan Jr.'s adult life was centered on innovation and new ideas. The Trust honors his legacy with a focus area dedicated to innovation in education.
