Celebrating Dr. Dorothy Height Women's History month

The illustrious Dr. Dorothy Height, President Emerita of The National Council of Negro women, was one of my mentors.  I am a former Chapter President of  a NCNW.  Dr. Height became National NCNW President upon the passing of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune.  She lead "Prayer Breakfasts" for several Presidents. She took us to Egypt to form an affiliate Egyptian women's chapter - I could go on. She left her legacy wish behind; coining the phrase "Leave No Child Behind".
