"Delta Girl"

"Delta Girl is a poem written by honorary member Mary McLeod Bethune.

Delta Girl

The Delta girl is one who has been given the opportunity of education and broad development: she is one who has enjoyed the privileges of culture and selected environment.

It is pleasing to a heartfelt depth to see her not as self centered, not desirous of selfish power, not wanting the plaudits of people, not wanting glory- but with a purpose which directs her activities and all that she may control toward lifting somebody else.

by Mary McLeod Bethune[4]
