Decades before the #civilrights movement, Mary McLeod Bethune helped pave the way for equality, #womensrights and #socialjustice.

She founded the #HBCU @bethunecookman in 1904, became a nationally renowned educator and was an informal adviser to President Franklin Roosevelt.

Mary McLeod Bethune's place in the National Statuary Hall collection as the first Back American is well-deserved and long overdue.
