Negative taken of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune (center) visiting with Lottie Hopkin (right) and Emma Davis at the Robert Russ Moton High School in Marianna, Lee County, Arkansas in 1953. Robert Russ Moton High School was in operation from 1926 to 1970. Born in South Carolina in 1875, Mary McLeod Bethune attended Scotia Seminary and Moody Bible Institute. After marrying Albertus Bethune, she began to teach school. With only $1.50 and five students, Bethune founded the Daytona Literary and Industrial School for Training Negro Girls in Daytona, Volusia County, Florida in 1904. Through Bethune's hard work, the school expanded into a high school, then junior college and finally Bethune-Cookman College. Appointed by President Roosevelt as the Director of the Division of Negro Affairs of the National Youth Administration, Bethune was the first African American woman to hold so high an office in the federal government.
