Dorothy Height was a pioneering voice of the civil rights movement. Her activism spanned from the 1930s to 2010. Height was born in 1912 in Richmond, Virginia, but was raised mostly in Pennsylvania. At that time, African Americans had few rights, and women were not allowed to vote until 1920. Few African-American women went to college, but Height was an outstanding student and was determined to further her education. She was accepted to Barnard College in New York but was turned away because the school already had reached its limit of two black women. She moved on and earned two degrees from New York University instead.
