Mary had a very large impact on the education of young African Americans. She believed that all kids should have the right to an education, not just whites. She worked and fought to get it so that kids of her color could read, and write and do the simple things that everyone can do now a days. Back then it was rare that an African American had a good education and Mary wanted to change that. Mary reminds me of Bessie. Bessie did all that she could so she could have the biggest impact possible on the kids in her town. She was not going to let the fact that she had dark skin stop her from helping kids get a decent education. Both Mary and Bessie worked their hearts out so that kids could be educated, and i honestly respect that.
