SFCWC was founded by Dr. Bethune in 1920 to united state club federations from Florida, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Virginia. The organization sought to combat school desegregation and to improve health facilities. Dr. Bethune also served as the SFCWC's first president from 1920 to 1925. Under her leadership, the group was able to found a state home for delinquent, young, African-American women and establish and operate the Home for Delinquent Girls in Ocala in 1921.]]>

Originally the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School for Negro Girls, Bethune-Cookman was established by African-American educator and civil rights activist Dr. Mary Jane McLeod Bethune in October 1904. In 1923, the school merged with the Cookman Institute of Jacksonville and then became affiliated with the Methodist Church the following year. The school served as a co-educational high school until 1931 when it became a junior college. In 1941, the school was accredited as a four-year college and was renamed Bethune-Cookman College.]]>
