Another Loss for the Civil Rights Community

Another leader in the fight for equality, Dr. Dorothy Height, died this morning.

Dr. Height was a towering figure in the fight for civil rights. She not only led the fight for justice in the Black community, but she was also a strong supporter of equality for the gay and lesbian community. I had the pleasure of meeting her several years ago at a Human Rights Campaign event. She was an elegant speaker and she let anyone who ever met her that she just wanted to see justice for everyone, no matter their race, creed, nationality, or sexual orientation. Her leadership will be missed.

May G-D comfort her family in this time of loss.
