The Mary McLeod Bethune edition: box, biography booklet, portrait prints, The Dream, Make Them Believe, and Five Women activity cards, and stickers

The daughter of formerly enslaved parents, Mary McLeod Bethune opened a school for Black girls in Daytona, Florida, in 1904 with very little money. It grew into Bethune-Cookman University. She later advised President Franklin D. Roosevelt and founded the National Council of Negro Women.

“Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it might be a diamond in the rough.”
