bronze statue of the educator and civil rights leader created by sculptor Nilda Comas will be unveiled in the Bethune Plaza area of Riverfront Esplanade Park in Daytona Beach. The ceremony takes place Aug. 18 at 9 a.m. in the plaza, located at the intersection of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Boulevard and Beach Street.<\/p><p>Comas said the bronze statue \u2013 which resembles the marble piece in the U.S. Capitol, is special in its own right.<\/p><p>\u201cThe bronze is going to have more texture than the marble because it will be outside and catch the light better. It\u2019s going to be beautiful to see it outside in the park,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a whole different process and also it will look different. They are both unique in their own ways.\u201d<\/p><p>Bethune is the first African-American to be honored with a statue in the U.S. Capitol. Her likeness replaces a statue of Confederate Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith.<\/p><p>For more information, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmbstatue.org\">mmbstatue.org<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-0495bbb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0495bbb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0515f20\" data-id=\"0515f20\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0957dc1 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"0957dc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6fd3fb elementor-author-box--image-valign-middle elementor-author-box--avatar-yes elementor-author-box--name-yes elementor-author-box--biography-yes elementor-author-box--link-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-author-box\" data-id=\"d6fd3fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"author-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"elementor-author-box__avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/evolve-success.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/EvolveMagazine_Icon_2021.png\" alt=\"EVOLVE Digital\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-author-box__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEVOLVE Digital\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f5caf85\" data-id=\"f5caf85\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac1dbb1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-sidebar\" data-id=\"ac1dbb1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"sidebar.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div><broadstreet-zone place=\"\" zone-id=\"149355\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daytona Beach Bethune statue to be unveiled After her debut in the National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol, Mary McLeod Bethune is taking a curtain call in Daytona Beach.
