Mary McLeod Bethune

Educator, stateswoman, and adviser to Presidents from Coolidge to Truman, Mary McLeod Bethune founded a school for Black girls in Daytona Beach in 1904 with $1.50 and five students. That school became Bethune-Cookman University. She founded the National Council of Negro Women, directed the Division of Negro Affairs under FDR, and helped draft the United Nations Charter as an American consultant in 1945.
