Not only lifted AfricanAmericans,but woman in general also.Voting rights,education access,civil rights and so much more.Rest in peace good lady.

"Dorothy Irene Height, a pioneering voice of the civil rights movement whose activism stretched from the New Deal to the election of President Barack Obama, died Tuesday. She was 98.

Height, who marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and led the National Council of Negro Women for 40 years, was known for her determination and grace — as well as her wry humor. She remained active and outspoken well into her 90s and often received rousing ovations at events around Washington, where she was easily recognizable in the bright, colorful hats she almost always wore.

Hey Owner, welcome aboard again!
And yes, taking care of an elderly parent *is* a full time job! We can swap horror stories about it! But, you'll always know that you took the high road!
