In this lesson, students will learn about Mary McLeod Bethune, who founded the Daytona National and Industrial School for Negro Girls (now Bethune-Cookman College), in 1904. They will discover that Bethune was working for African-American equality decades before the modern civil rights movement. They will also see how profoundly Bethune’s early experience of discrimination affected her life. Through close reading, they will explore connections among Bethune’s life, their own lives, other things they have read, and current and past events.
