In 1904, Mary McLeod Bethune did something that was almost unheard of in American society at that time. She began a school for young African American girls in Daytona, Florida. That school would eventually flourish and merge with a boys’ school to become Bethune-Cookman University. Meanwhile Mary McLeod Bethune is also remembered for her innovative work in Civil Rights, including acting as a presidential adviser to a number of our country’s leaders.

King said in an interview that this photograph was taken as he tried to explain to his daughter Yolanda why she could not go to Funtown, a whites-only amusement park in Atlanta. King claims to have been tongue-tied when speaking to her. “One of the most painful experiences I have ever faced was to see her tears when I told her Funtown was closed to colored children, for I realized the first dark cloud of inferiority had floated into her little mental sky.”

Her whole life, Jane Addams fought for equality. With a humanistic ideal, she promoted change. According to Webster, “Jane did an enormous amount when it came to peace”.[1] She opposed war and thought differences should be approached in a friendly manner. She truly wanted to change the world. She dedicated her life to this process. After a lifetime of good deeds, she was recognized for her efforts. According to Jane Lewis, “In 1931 Jane Addams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, shared with Nicholas Murray Butler, but her health was too fragile to attend the European ceremonies to accept the prize. She was the second woman to be awarded that honor.” [2] Though her body failed her, she did not let that affect her humanitarian efforts. She was born into a family of privilege and used this status to support the less fortunate. Jane Addams changed the lives of many people. She will be known in our history books as a woman who paved the way for a moralistic approach to life and politics.
