Dorothy Height hospitalized
Here is hoping for a speedy recovery.
Link
Civil rights legend Dorothy Height was in intensive care at Howard University Hospital Wednesday night, hospital officials said.
Height, president emeritus of the National Council of Negro Women, turned 98 years old Wednesday.
Howard University spokesman Ron Harris said that Height was in "stable" condition. Only hours before, members of Congress and former cabinet members had gathered at the National Council of Negro Women headquarters for what was to be Height’s birthday celebration.
For more than six decades Height has mixed style, fashion and determination to become a stalwart of the Civil Rights movement.

It appears a news reporter told some sorors about her passing. Because the website only had limited info due to requests from Soror Height's people, it was hard to confirm, so unfortunately sorors ran with it to be the "first to runtelldat" (thanks CT4.)
Hopefully, lessons learned.

Was her name ever mentioned (guest appearance) or associated with "A Different World" the show? I could be wrong...but I feel like the show made mention of her legacy in some way.
