Note from the Editor This month’s Back to School issues features the Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Paper Doll. Dr. Bethune (July 10, 1875 – May 18, 1955) was born in South Carolina to parents Samuel and Patsy McLeod who were former slaves. While she was growing up, she worked in cotton fields with her family, which included 16 siblings. As a child, there were no schools that were close by for African American children to attend. It was not until she was 11 that there was a school that was relatively closer, which required her to walk more than four miles each way. Because Dr. Bethune excelled in her studies, she was selected by her teacher to receive all expenses paid by a benefactor to attend Scotia Seminary in North Carolina. She later received a scholarship to attend the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago where she was the only black student.1 Because she had a desire to help young black girls get an education, she moved to Daytona, FL and opened the Literacy and Industrial Training School for Negro Girls in 1904.2 Dr. Bethune’s school became so successful that by 1923, her school, then named the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute merged with the Cookman Institute. In 1931, the school received full accreditation as a junior college and became the Bethune-Cookman College. Ten years later, Bethune-Cookman College was approved by the Florida State Department of Education to offer a four-year baccalaureate program for liberal arts and teacher education.3 Dr. Bethune served in in many capacities: sociologist, special adviser on minority affairs to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, including other presidential commissions under Presidents Coolidge and Hoover, Director of Negro Affairs of the National Youth Administration, President of the National Association of Colored Women, and she was a founder of the National Council of Negro Women.4 So great were her accomplishments, that in March 2018, the Governor of Florida signed a bill authorizing a statue of Dr. Bethune to be included as one of Florida’s two representatives in the National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. Dr. Bethune’s statue will replace a statue of a Confederate officer.5 To learn more about Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, please visit these websites: • http://www.cookman.edu/about_BCU/history/index.html • https://www.nps.gov/mamc/learn/historyculture/mary-mcleod-bethune.htm • For teachers: https://www.tolerance.org/classroom-resources/tolerance-lessons/mary-mcleod-bethune Also, included in this month’s issue is a Labor Day Paper Doll to observe the holiday. Labor Day was started by labor unions, which made it possible to shorten the work week from six days to five days, and shorten the work day to eight hours.6 The Labor Day Paper Doll has two pieces to wear, which represent two occupations typically represented by unions: teacher and firefighter. Happy September and enjoy the paper dolls! - Nova Edwards
