The Life and Legacy of Mary McLeod Bethune by Nancy Ann Zrinyi Long
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a relatively short biography of Mary McLeod Bethune and very good. I debated giving it a 5 star rating. But, at the end are a set of individual memories of Bethune by various family and friends, which adds a so much to better define the biography.
The book is very thorough and well covers her life, along with the building of Bethune-Cookman College. It is also well written.
I’m trying to think of something to write bad about the book and it’s a bit tough. Maybe more about her personal life, but it appears her life was one of an endless engine for the college.
Bottom line: i recommend the book.
