ME: Give me a bio of Mary Mcleod Bethune

ChatGPT:

Mary McLeod Bethune (1875-1955) was an American educator, civil rights leader, and government official who devoted her life to promoting education and equal opportunities for African Americans and women.

Born in South Carolina to parents who had been enslaved, Bethune was one of 17 children and grew up in poverty. Despite these challenges, she was determined to get an education and worked hard to earn a scholarship to attend Scotia Seminary in North Carolina. After graduation, she taught at Haines Institute in Augusta, Georgia, before moving to Florida to found her own school, the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School for Negro Girls, in 1904.

Under Bethune's leadership, the school grew and evolved into Bethune-Cookman University, which still exists today. In addition to her work as an educator, Bethune was also a prominent civil rights leader. She served as president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs from 1924 to 1928, and was appointed as a special advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt on issues related to minority affairs.

During World War II, Bethune was also a key figure in the National Youth Administration, working to promote employment and education opportunities for young people, especially those from marginalized communities. She continued to work for civil rights and social justice throughout her life, and was honored with numerous awards and accolades, including being the first African American woman to have a statue erected in her honor in a public park in Washington, D.C.

The Challenges Faced by Black Entrepreneurs Today

Unfortunately, the challenges faced by black entrepreneurs have not disappeared in the decades since Gregory was in business.
