About this listen

This is the last episode of a podcast series documenting the life of the great civil rights leader Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune.  Mary passed away in 1955 just shy of her 80th birthday.  In spite of her death, the seeds she planted after the turn of the century on the site of a former garbage dump in Daytona Beach continued to flourish.  Today, tens of thousands of students have graduated from what is now Bethune-Cookman University.  Mary's legacy lives on today through the countless lives she's inspired, and the dream she turned into a reality with faith and a humble capital investment of $1.50.
