"Mary McLeod Bethune: Woman of Courage" by Patricia McKissack tells the inspiring life story of Mary McLeod Bethune, an African American educator and civil rights leader. Born in 1875 to former slaves, Bethune faced significant challenges but remained determined to pursue her education and empower others. She founded a school for Black girls, which later became a significant institution and played a crucial role in the education of African Americans in the South. Throughout her life, Bethune advocated for equal rights and was a key figure in the National Council of Negro Women, leaving behind a legacy of courage, perseverance, and hope.
