We have lost two great pioneers to our culture as African-Americans this week: Dorothy Height (March 24, 1912 – April 20, 2010) and Guru of Gang Starr (July 17, 1966 – April 19, 2010). Thank you Dorothy for your steadfast determination in your fight for equal rights for African-Americans and women across the nation. Thank you Guru for your gift of knowledge that reminds me every day of the beauty of my heritage. Thank you both for being brave enough to be who you are in spite of what society calls you to be. May your souls rest in eternal peace.
R.I.P to both legends.
