"Sometimes I ask myself if I have any legacy to leave. My worldly possessions are few. Yet, my experiences have been rich. From them I distilled principles and policies in which I firmly believe. Perhaps in them there is something of value, so, as my life draws to a close, I will pass them on... Here then is my legacy to leave: I leave you love; I leave you hope; I leave you a thirst for education; I leave you faith; I leave you racial dignity; I leave you a desire to live harmoniously with your fellow men; I leave you a responsibility to our young people." Mary McLeod Bethune, 1955
