Mary McLeod Bethune (Crowell Biographies)

"The drums of Africa still beat in my heart. They will not let me rest."These are the words of Mary McLeod Bethune. She worked her whole life to make the world a better place. As a child, she loved to read. As a woman, she loved to teach. She started a school; she founded a hospital. Everywhere she saw a need, she searched for a solution.
