  • Sumário

  • This is the fifth podcast in a series about the life of the great civil rights leader and educator, Dr, Mary McLeod Bethune.  This episodes explores the challenges that Mary was faced with after the founding of her school in 1904.  Lynching was common in the early 20th century, leading to the Niagara Movement and the founding of the NAACP.  Even after the NAACP was formed, lynching continued to be a big problem in the south in the years leading up to the Great Depression. 

    Credit is given to the Johnson Brothers - James Weldon and John Rosemond - who wrote the opening song "Lift Every Voice and Sing", which is still widely used today, 120 years later.  James Weldon Johnson would also go on to achieve national stature with the NAACP, serving as an officer.
