A black and white image of Mary McLeod Bethune sitting at her desk in the Mary McLeod Bethune Foundation. She can be seen in the center of the photograph. She is sitting in an oversized chair and is holding onto a pair of sunglasses on top of the desk. In front of her at the edge of a desk is a row of books with a bookend. To the left of the books can be seen a pen and a desk calendar. To the left of the image is a rotary-dial phone. The tabletop of the desk is glass, and there are photographs slipped under. Behind Dr. Bethune is a bookshelf with statues displayed. Window blinds and curtains cover the windows. A decorative horn also hangs on the wall.
