Say Their Names & Mary McLeod Bethune

We are pressing pause on our previously scheduled programming. We were planning to continue featuring women from season 1 from throughout time and around the world this week. Instead, we are going to focus in on the stories of African American women who changed the course of history. Today, we talk about Mary McLeod Bethune (1875-1955), a pioneering American educator and education activist, civil rights activist, stateswoman, philanthropist, writer and humanitarian.
