Dorothy Height Funeral

Dorothy Height Funeral

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama eulogized fallen civil rights leader Dorothy Height Thursday as a humble but tireless force for equality and justice.
"She never cared about who got the credit," the president said. "What she cared about was the cause. The cause of justice, the cause of equality, the cause of opportunity, freedom's cause."
"She too deserves a place of honor in American memory," Obama said of the civil rights leader who died last week at age 98. The president delivered one of the eulogies during Height's funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington.
