Former Congresswoman Val Demings

Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune was the most powerful woman I can remember as a child. She has inspired me for my whole life. I am proud that today I and @RepMichaelWaltz introduced legislation to welcome her statue as Florida’s new face in the U.S. Capitol. #BlackHistoryMonth

Former Congresswoman Val Demings

When Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune was a child, she picked up a book. Other children, seeing that she was Black, told her "put that down, you can’t read." That moment started a lifelong commitment to education & civil rights and launched an unparalleled legacy. #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM
