Posted By: HBCU CONNECT on March 12, 2026 Check out this video from Bethune Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida! A powerful piece of Bethune-Cookman University history is heading to Chicago. Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune’s historic cane—used by our founder in her later years—will be featured in the exhibits at the Barack Obama Presidential Center, opening June 19 on the South Side of Chicago. As part of a larger civil rights and education exhibition, the artifact will help tell the story of leadership, resilience, and the lasting impact of HBCUs. The cane will remain on display through 2028, when it will return home to B-CU—continuing to connect Dr. Bethune’s legacy to future generations. 🐾 If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
