About this listen

This is the 6th episode in a series documenting the life of the great educator and civil rights leader, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune.  While most of America struggled in the 1930's following the Great Depression, Mary's life was filled with one accomplishment after another.  She forged a special relationship with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife Elenor, which allowed her to continue her push for equal civil rights for all Americans.
