Description
An autographed portrait of Arrabella Dennison, which is housed at the Mary McLeod Bethune Foundation, located at 640 Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Boulevard in Daytona Beach, Florida. Dennison was the secretary for Dr. Mary Jane McLeod Bethune at Bethune-Cookman College (B-CC). 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.
Dennison also served as the executive secretary for the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) when it was established by Dr. Bethune in 1935. NCNW was organized to advance opportunities for African-American women via research, advocacy, and national and community-based programs.
