Description
When Mary McLeod Bethune started writing a regular, weekly public affairs column for The Chicago Defender, she had seen America from Reconstruction to the rise of the civil rights movement. She had stood down the Ku Klux Klan to lead people to the pulls after the ratification of the Womans Suffrage Amendment in 1920. She had advised US presidents. She had founded a college in the deep South and an organization for women in the nations capital. In the late in40s until her death in the middle 1950s, this distinguished educator and advocate wrote at least 300,000 words for the Defender. This annotated bibliography divides the columns into issue-oriented categories, and each section contains a brief abstract, followed by a list of citations and excerpts from that group of editorials. This volume will of interest to those working in the history of journalism, womens studies, Black studies, and social issues.
