Mary McLeod Bethune
Standing Up
Mary McLeod Bethune - Educator, agitator and Eleanor Roosevelt's best friend once said:
"There can be no divided democracy, no class government, no half-free country, under the constitution. Therefore, there can be no discrimination, no segregation, no separation of some citizens from the rights which belong to all...We are on our way. But these are frontiers which we must conquer...We must gain full equality in education...in the franchise...in economic opportunity, and full equality in the abundance of life."
- We thank Mary McLeod Bethune for her boldness!
Now go make this day a masterpiece...
