Unsung Heroes of the Movement: Mary McLeod Bethune 🎓✨ Mary McLeod Bethune was born to former slaves and walked five miles each day just to attend school. What began as a dream to become a missionary evolved into a lifelong mission to educate and empower Black girls. In 1904, with just $1.50, pie sales, and six students, she founded the Daytona Literary and Industrial Training School for Negro Girls—what would become Bethune-Cookman University. A fearless advocate for education and equity, Bethune made history in 1935 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed her the first Black woman to lead a federal agency—the National Youth Administration’s Office of Minority Affairs. She also served in his “Black Cabinet,” shaping policy at the highest levels. Bethune’s legacy is one of vision, courage, and unshakable commitment to the next generation. 🎥 Watch the clip and join us in honoring the #UnsungHeroes who paved the way. #MarchOn #MaryMcLeodBethune #BlackWomenLead #CivilRights ...
