Sculptures of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, a prominent civil rights leader, were recently unveiled in Washington, D.C., and Florida.
Sandi Bethune, the Sequoyah Hills Homeowners Association’s president, was married for 52 years to Albert McLeod Bethune III, who died in 2021.
An 11-foot, white marble sculpture created by world-renowned artist Nilda Comas in Dr. Bethune’s honor has replaced a statue of a Confederate general in Washington, D.C. She is the first Black American to represent a state in the Capitol’s Statuary Hall. A month after the Washington ceremony, a duplicate statue in bronze also made by Comas was unveiled at the Riverfront Esplanade Bethune Pavilion in Daytona Beach, Florida.
More than 160 people came to the event including donors, OFSCA members, Oakland officials and Visit Oakland representatives, including 17 members from a Fukuoka delegation.
