I want to say Thank you for supporting the Queens project to Crystal Singleton Patton. You will help me tell the stories of women like Mary Jane McLeod Bethune who was an educator and civil rights leader. She was one of seventeen children and the only one in her family to attend school, so each day, she taught the others what she had learned. Bethune wrote later, “I considered cash money as the smallest part of my resources. I had faith in a loving God, faith in myself, and a desire to serve.”
