This is the first in a series of podcasts outlining the life journey of the great educator and civil rights leader, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune.  Dr. Randolph Bracy Jr., describes the rough and primitive conditions Mary was born into in Maysville, South Carolina, only 10 years after the abolishment of slavery.  She overcomes many obstacles, including the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, to eventually make her way to Daytona Beach, the city her school would be founded in in 1904.
