Details
- Abstract / Summary
- Kelley captures Mary McLeod Bethune's trials and triumphs from an impoverished childhood in the cotton fields of South Carolina to her ascendancy as Black America's most influential leader. With a dollar and fifty cents, she starts a school for black girls, now a reputable university. She founds and leads the National Council of Negro Women and becomes the first black woman to hold a federal appointment as Director of the Division of Negro Affairs in Franklin Roosevelt's National Youth Administration. Bethune raises the status of black women, promotes racial equality, and becomes an international crusader for social justice.
