Hi Everyone!
I haven't been peeking in, lately, but I just wanted to add a comment regarding this wonderful precedent setter and history-maker.
I am the contest coordinator for Hal Jackson Talented Teen International of Hudson County and our theme this year revolves around outstanding women of achievement.
Dorothy Height will be spotlighted before the speech segment of our competition alongside other women including Mae Jemison, Nikki Giovanni, Mary Macleod-Bethune, Maya Angelou, and Oprah Winfrey to name a few. Interestingly enough, the staff allowed the contestants to come up with the names of the women to be spotlighted. We were so relieved, having been prepared to dispute the likes of Li' Kim and Rah Digga.
Just wanted to share....
Yolanda
