Comas also included a black rose as a reference to an essay Bethune wrote about the “universal garden of races.” In the finished statue, Bethune stands near a stack of books whose titles reference her last will and testament.

The work has even more significance because of the statue it has replaced. Maceo Thomas expressed gratitude for the replacement of a confederate statue with Bethune’s important work and legacy.

“I think it's phenomenal that the state of Florida made the decision to remove the Confederate statue that was in there,” Thomas said. “Then they went through this process [to put] Mary McLeod Bethune’s statue into Statuary Hall.”

The memorial to Mary McLeod Bethune was erected at the east end of Lincoln Park on Capitol Hill in 1974. Sculpted by Robert Berks, it honors her work as an educator and civil-rights activist.

Bethune’s Legacy

More than 67 years after her death, Bethune continues to make history in Florida and in the District. Bethune-Cookman University, located in Daytona Beach, Florida, educates nearly 3,000 undergraduate students.

Bethune’s legacy lives on in Washington as well. Both Mary McLeod Bethune Day Academy (1404 Jackson St NE) and a Howard University dormitory, the Bethune Residence Complex (2225 Fourth St. NW) are named for her. At the Council House, Ranger Fowler emphasized that Bethune’s fortitude will continue to live on as well.

“The statue being unveiled and dedicated in Statuary Hall is the first statue to represent a state specifically of an African American person and it is indicative of her life,” Fowler said.

“She was always looking to break barriers and build coalitions with people, so I think all Americans can look at her life and legacy and see that no matter the circumstances that you find yourself in you can overcome them.” The Mary McLeod Bethune Council House is open to visitors Thursday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. There is no entry fee or advanced registration required for visitors.
