🎙️ Map of historic travels
In this episode of Talk With History, Scott and Jen explore the remarkable life and contributions of Mary McLeod Bethune, a cornerstone of civil rights in American history. They visited the Mary McLeod Bethune Council House in Washington, DC, and learned about her accomplishments.
From her humble beginnings as the 15th of 17 children born to former slaves, she pursued education and founded a school in Florida. Bethune became a prominent advocate for African American women's rights, working closely with Eleanor Roosevelt and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. She played a crucial role in handpicking the first 40 African American women to join the army, leading to the establishment of the 6888th Postal Battalion during World War II.
Join Scott and Jen as they delve into the inspiring life of Mary McLeod Bethune and her lasting impact on civil rights and equality.
