The story I took was Mary McLeod Bethune, who was a famous educator. In 1875, she was born in Mayesville, South Carolina. She was a black woman who started her life as a cotton picker. She couldn’t read until she started to go to school for the first time in 1880s. In spite of discriminations, she studied hard, became a teacher for black people, and finally she made her dream of building a school of her own come true in order to help black people by teaching them. She encouraged many black people who suffered worse hardship those days.
