Dorothy Height: The "Godmother" of the Women's Civil Rights Movement

Dorothy Height must have had 25 hours and 8 days in a week. Her accomplishments and advocacy are so widespread that it leaves you wondering how on earth she did it all. She was instrumental in the success of the March on Washington during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, and was the only female on the stage during Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Dorothy spent her life opening doors, while she was the President of the NCNW, and beyond.
