Join the Mary McLeod Bethune Foundation National Historic Landmark staff as we reverence the great work of Educator and political leader Mary McLeod Bethune, who died at the age of seventy-nine on May 18, 1955, in Daytona Beach, FL.

“We live in a world which respects power above all things. Power, intelligently directed, can lead to more freedom. Unwisely directed, it can be dreadful, destructive force. During my lifetime I have seen the power of the Negro grow enormously. It has always been my first concern that this power should be placed on the side of human justice.”
-Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune
