About this Event

Join us for a presentation on Mary McLeod Bethune, part of the Exception Women Series by Lisa French with the League of Women Voters. Mary McLeod Bethune was a fascinating educator, innovator, and activist. Among her accomplishments: she founded Bethune Cookman College, was a close personal friend to Eleanor Roosevelt, and held the top posts in the FDR administration by an African American. She is one of the two statues in the US Congress representing the state of Florida.
