I hope this is in no way disrespectful...
To the members of Delta Sigma Theta, please accept my condolences in the loss of your outstanding member. When I heard about the passing of Dr. Height, I was immediately reminded of a play which I wrote for my younger sisters Girl Scout troop. This play was inspired by the Legends Luncheon which Oprah Winfrey had in order to honor the African-American women whom she viewed as trailblazers and icons.
For my version of the Legends Luncheon, each of the girls was assigned the role of an influential African-American female and my little sister (who is, by the way, autistic) played the role of Dr. Dorothy Height.

I apologize for the camera - my aunt was filming this on my moms digital camera and it was apparent that she was not completely comfortable with the zoom feature but otherwise she did a good job. My sister as Dorothy Height comes in at about 04:10 if you wish to skip, but all of the girls did a beautiful job with their parts. I hope you all don't mind my sharing.
