ReplyDeleteUnknown to me. BUT a quick check on Wiki shows a woman with strength and a vision; that's what's needed to take tyrants and immoral legislation down.

ReplyDeleteUsing only three words seems like a crime or doesn't do her justice. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteYes, three words are not enough to describe people of great accomplishments like Mary McLeod Bethune. At time of her death in 1955, many newspapers felt that her life story should be taught to America’s schoolchildren. Today efforts are made to erase her life story and those of others that don’t fit in with the racist and sexist views espoused by today’s Republican Party. Once the party of Abraham Lincoln, a man of integrity, and is now the party of his assassin John Wilkes Booth, a miserable racist.
