Mary McLeod Bethune Council House

Mary McLeod Bethune founded and became the first president of the National Council of Negro women. Her home still stands, just south of Logan Circle in Washington DC and contains the National Archives for Black Women's History, the only institution in the US dedicated to this purpose.

"The great need for uniting the effort of our women kept weighing upon my mind. I could not free myself from the sense of loss, of wasted strength sustained by the national community through the failure to harness the great power of women into a force for constructive action I could not rest until our women had met this challenge."

~ Mary McLeod Bethune
