Mary McLeod Bethune

"The drums of Africa still beat in my heart. They will not let me rest." As a child, Mary McLeod Bethune loved to read. As an adult, she loved to teach — and she believed that education was key to ensuring that everyone, regardless of their race, could enjoy the promise of the American dream. Everywhere she saw a need, she searched for a solution, and she worked her whole life to make the world a better place.

This simply told biography of an outstanding black educator during the years following the Civil War, from the award-winning author/illustrator team of Eloise Greenfield and Jerry Pinkney, celebrates the determination this dedicated educator and activist. Kids will be astounded to hear how hard she had to fight for education for both herself and the children she taught. With its clear text and glorious illustrations, it's a fitting tribute to a pioneering black woman.
