GOOD-BYE TO A GRAND LADY

Wikimedia Commons Dr. Dorothy Height, who as longtime president of the National Council of Negro Women was the leading female voice of the 1960s civil rights movement, has died. She was 98. A Howard University Hospital spokesman said she died early Tuesday morning. As a teenager, Height marched in New York's Times Square shouting, ``Stop the lynching.''

Anyway, as the child of a auto worker in the 70s-80s, my siblings and I benefited from all of my dad's union benefits.
