This event took place on February 1, 2018. See upcoming events in Vero Beach.

On February 1, historical actor Ersula Knox-Odom will appear in character as Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune in a performance drawn from that pivotal year of 1954, when “separate but equal” segregated schools were outlawed by the Supreme Court.  Dr. Bethune’s extraordinary contributions to democracy will be highlighted. Dr. Bethune, founder of Bethune-Cookman University, was a high-level official in the New Deal government. Following the performance, a Q&A session with the presenter in character will be held.
