Story4.5 out of 5 stars 600
The daughter of formerly enslaved parents, Mary McLeod Bethune refuses to back down as white supremacists attempt to thwart her work. She marches on as an activist and an educator, and as her reputation grows she becomes a celebrity, revered by titans of business and recognized by U.S. Presidents. Eleanor Roosevelt herself is awestruck and eager to make her acquaintance.

Pretty much loved it all, just did not know how I felt about them using the N word a lot. Although, I know that this was incorporated due to how things were during this time frame. I just didn't want my young mixed nephew to hear me listening to it and get upset if he didn't understand that it was part of history.
