Depart to Serve.' Civil rights activist. Presidential advisor. A woman who helped draft the charter of the United Nations — Mary McLeod Bethune is a name most kids learn when studying Black history. The Black press often called her the ”First Lady of Negro America.” But also, she’s the person who founded Bethune-Cookman University. And, her work shows how from the very beginning, education has been part of Black folks’ push for democracy.
