Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-- With an initial investment of less than two dollars, Bethune began to fulfill her dream of operating a quality school for poor African-American children. Eventually, it grew from a beginning enrollment of 5 girls in 1904 to close to 250 students in 1906. Bethune is portrayed as a strong and determined woman whose faith never waivered in trying times. This short history of a landmark school vividly illustrates the importance of education and to what great lengths people have gone to obtain one. Also, the book demonstrates how dreams of a better life and opportunity can become a reality. Unfortunately, the ink drawings are not very engaging. A four-paged section of notes is appended. --Jeanette Lambert, Nashville Metropolitan Schools, TN
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.


Product Description

Describes Mary Bethune's struggle to establish a school for black children in Daytona Beach, Florida. --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.
