Review:
"This book is easy and interesting reading. It

presents the 'Life and Legacy' of the late Dr.

Mary McLeod Bethune holistically and concludes

The author narrates Dr. Bethune's early

years and documents how developments in

those years influenced her later accomplishments." -- Dr. Oswald P. Bronson "President, Bethune-Cookman College"
