Honoring Dorothy Height, Civil Rights Pioneer

By Correy Robertson, April 21, 2010 10:41 AM

Dorothy Height was a hero. The leader of the civil rights movement who played an essential role in several of the achievements the movement made for equality in the 50s and 60s, passed away yesterday. Her work for racial equality and women's rights will not be forgotten.
