“We have a powerful potential in out youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends.” - Mary McLeod Bethune On paper, the New Deal programs enacted to ease the economic sufferings of the Depression were open to everyone, but in practice, racial discrimination often kept African Americans from sharing in their full benefits. A black educator and founder of Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Florida, Mary McLeod Bethune was determined to correct that inequity. As an official in the National Youth Administration, she proved remarkably effective in assuring blacks access to its employment programs. But her efforts did not stop there. In 1936 she was the chief organizer of a group of Washington-based African American leaders known as the "black cabinet," whose self-appointed mission was to maintain steady pressure on the federal government to create better job opportunities for blacks. American portraitist Betsy Graves Reyneau depicts the esteemed leader later in life wearing a richly colored, dark blue velvet outfit featuring large dark buttons down the front. The velvet seems to catch the light, giving it a subtle sheen. Her facial expression is serene and dignified, with a hint of a gentle smile playing on her lips. Her dark eyes hold a depth of wisdom and quiet strength. Her dark hair is neatly pulled back, suggesting a careful and composed demeanor. Her skin is realistically rendered, showing the texture and tones consistent with age. In the background, hangs a framed picture depicting a light-colored building which resembles a small academic institution, surrounded by trees and a walkway. To her right sits a globe, resting on a dark wooden stand. She is holding a dark-colored cane in her left hand, resting it lightly against the floor. Bethune had no physical need for the cane she holds in her portrait. She used it, she said, to give herself "swank."

🪶 HerStory Tuesday: Mary McLeod Bethune lived like the widow in 1 Kings 17—giving what little she had and trusting it would multiply. It did.
Aurelius said, “Enough of this miserable whining life.”
Bethune didn’t whine over her circumstance. She built a legacy.
