If you could have a conversation with anyone, dead or alive, who would you choose? Why?
|
| I would love to speak to the late Dorothy Irene Height. She was an American administrator and educator, was a civil rights and women’s rights activist specifically focused on the issues of African-American women, including unemployment, illiteracy, and voter awareness. She was the president of the National Council of Negro Women for forty years and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 2004. I would love to speak with her about her motivations and experiences being a freedom fighter. |
