"In 1957, Dorothy Irene Height became the fourth president of the National Council of Negro Women. Introduced to Bethune and the council in 1937, she had served for twenty years in a number of appointive positions that provided her a unique opportunity to understand every aspect of the NCNW."

Happy Founders Day!
