Honoring Miss Dorothy Height---
Remembering Civil Rights Luminary Dorothy Height,now ascended and with God!...Returning to the National Council Of Negro Women Building on Pennsylvania Avenue in DC on the day of President Barack Obama's Inaguration Jan 2009. The NCNW Historic Building is the only one owned by African Americans on that Avenue. I was standing outside NCNW waiting to see our new Pres...ident when Miss Height's car stopped in front and she got out. It was a freezing cold exciting day.
What a blesssing I was able to take this picture---and to join so many other thousands celebrating history! What do you remember of that day???
Melony McGant, poet, storyteller, humanist and world lover of children lives on HOPE; works to breathe in love, and exhales fear (false expectations appearing real).
She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth."
And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression.
She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."
