I really liked this letter to the president.  I was impressed that a black women would write to the president to encourage him to allow black women to work for the war effort.  Bethune really seems to show how sincere her desire is to serve her country and wants to be given an equal shot.  Did other black women write similar letters? What other ways did theses women try to find a way to serve?-- Kellye Sorber
