Dear Alumnae and Alumni,
When Dr. Dorothy Height died this morning, another towering oak fell in the forest. Those of us who were shielded by the leafy branches of her humanity and anchored and emboldened by the deep roots of her courageous example in civil rights and women's rights are forever in her debt.
Born at a time when women could not vote and Jim Crow and lynching of African Americans was widespread in this country, she lived long enough and worked hard enough to see that same country elect an African American president.
Active until the very end, Dr. Dorothy Height PAID HER DUES! In fact, she paid so many dues, she is owed a million dollars in change!
Best regards,
Dave Evans
