Bethune. Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune is an American Shero. She founded Bethune-Cookman (B-CC) College, The National Council of Negro Women and she served as advisor for five presidents of the United States of America. Dr. Bethune was a children\u2019s advocate, women\u2019s rights activist and educator.<\/h5>\n<h5>In 1920, Dr. Bethune visited Europe. During that visit she saw a garden of flowers that included black roses. This was the first time in her life she saw black roses. Impressed with the black rose, she projected that image and believed even more in God&#8217;s intentionality in creating a diverse people and world.<\/h5>\n<h5>Upon return to her beloved B-CC, Dr. Bethune relayed this experience to the college family, particularly the students. From that point on she began to refer to her students at B-CC as her \u201cBlack Roses.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>The Black Rose Foundation for Children is also an inspiration of the parents of the founder, Willie L. Flemming and Corine Joyner Flemming.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-column-overlay tatsu-animate-none\" ><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJxusLJxh.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-HJxusLJxh.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}.tatsu-HJxusLJxh > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HJxusLJxh > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HJxusLJxh > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HJxusLJxh > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}@media only screen and (max-width:1377px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJxusLJxh.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJxusLJxh.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJxusLJxh.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-section-overlay\"><\/div><style>.tatsu-H1ZxdjIye2 .tatsu-section-pad{padding: 16px 0px 30px 0px;}.tatsu-H1ZxdjIye2 .tatsu-section-offset-wrap{transform: translateY(-0px);}.tatsu-H1ZxdjIye2 > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-H1ZxdjIye2 > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-H1ZxdjIye2 .tatsu-section-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/our-inspiration\/\" class=\"more-link style1-button\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-55","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/55","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/55\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":454,"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/55\/revisions\/454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
