EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a significant moment in history at Bethune-Cookman College. In 1943, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, an influential African American educator and civil rights leader, is pictured standing with a group of unidentified students after resigning as the college's president. The image showcases the determination and resilience of both Dr. Bethune and her students during a time when racial segregation was prevalent in America. Despite facing numerous challenges, they stood together united in their pursuit of education and equality. Dr. Bethune's strong presence is evident as she stands tall among her students, wearing a dignified blouse that reflects her leadership role within the institution. The photo was taken by renowned photographer Gordon Parks, who skillfully captured this historic moment with his lens. Located in Daytona Beach, Florida, Bethune-Cookman College played a crucial role in providing higher education opportunities for African Americans during an era when such opportunities were limited. This photograph serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those involved in shaping the future of black education. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection, this image continues to inspire generations with its depiction of empowerment through education and unity amidst adversity.
