General note: Mary McLeod Bethune, the daughter of former slaves, was born on July 10, 1875 in Mayesville, South Carolina.

Roosevelt's Federal Council on Negro Affairs, also known as the Black Cabinet. Bethune has been recognized as a Great Floridian and inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame, in addition to numerous other honors which speak to her legacy and character.
