Dorothy Height Remains Hospitalized

Chair and President Emerita of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), Dorothy Height, remains hospitalized in the ICU of Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C. Height, 98, is reported to be in serious condition but stable.

Dr. Height began her career as a civil rights activist in 1933 as a young social worker in Harlem, where she worked to prevent lynching, desegregate the armed forces, reform the criminal justice system and for free access to public accommodations in the South. In 1937, her life changed when the founder of the NCNW, Mary McLeod Bethune, observed Height escorting then First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt into an NCNW meeting. At that point, she was recruited as first a member then rose through the ranks to become national president in 1957 serving until 1997.

Several United States presidents sought her counsel, namely Lyndon B. Johnson and Dwight D. Eisenhower. And her influence has been felt and noted in many national policy initiatives involving women and African Americans.
