Remember Dorothy Height in your prayers. She died today at age 98. She lived through the era when being black was a constant terror; when being a black woman was a constant terror.

She fought for much of her life for what most of us take for granted: individual freedom and liberty.

Today there are too many who want to return to a time when Dorothy Height was young. We cannot allow that to happen. The American dream shall continue to spread and will include those now despised, unwanted, at the edge.

Try to look for a moment through her brilliant eyes while she lived, and make your own life richer here in Mount Pleasant.
