Dorothy Height

Called the "godmother of the Civil Rights Movement," Dorothy Height led the National Council of Negro Women for forty years and was the only woman among the "Big Six" leaders who organized the 1963 March on Washington. She helped desegregate the YWCA, advised presidents from Eisenhower to Obama, and championed voting rights, women's economic empowerment, and family literacy. She was awarded both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.

“Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition they have overcome.”
