Happy 98th Birthday
Dr. Dorothy I. Height

By Ronald C. Jessamy, Sr.
Dr. Dorothy I. Height

On March 24, 2010, legendary civil rights leader, Dr. Dorothy I. Height, turned 98 years old. On behalf of the officers, directors and members of the Washington Bar Association, I would like to extend to her a heartfelt and well-deserved birthday greeting from our association. Despite her advanced age, as Chair and President Emeriti of the National Council of Negro Women, Inc. (www.ncnw.org ), she is still on the battle field trying to work to make equal justice a reality in this nation.
