Dorothy Height- a woman with a busy life

Hello!
I have noticed that there is a problem with the invisible comment section! I will try to fix it tomorrow evening.
The woman that I will be writing about today is, somebody who stood next to Martin Luther King jr. whilst he made his awesome "I have a dream" speech at the March on Washington. She was called the godmother of the civil rights movements by Barack Obama. She fought for both civil rights and women's rights. She ran and participated in many  association against racism and women's rights, such as the YWCA (Young Women Christian Association) and NCNW. She is the best woman I have met (not physically unfortunately). She is Dorothy Height. Yes, the woman who's photo was stamped on post-stamps in February 2017 to remember the civil rights legacy in the month of black history.

“I have been in the proximity of, and threatened by, the Klan; I have been called everything people of color are called; I have been denied admission because of a quota. I've had all of that, but I've also learned that getting bitter is not the way.”
Sooooo... what do you think about her?
Do you have a post- stamp from February?
Do you think she is the godmother of civil rights movements?

BYEEEEE
