I Want to Be Remembered…

“I want to be remembered as someone who used herself and anything she could touch to work for justice and freedom- I want to be remembered as one who tried.”

Dorothy Height

(Dorothy Irene Height was an American civil rights and women's rights activist. She focused on the issues of African American women, including unemployment, illiteracy, and voter awareness. Height began her efforts as a civil rights activist at the age of twenty-five when she joined the National Council of Negro Women. Throughout her life she fought for equal rights for both African Americans and women. During the 1930s she was an activist against lynching and for reforms to the criminal justice system.)

How do you want to be remembered?

How do you think you would be remembered if today was your last?

Every day, not just once a year or one month a year, we have the opportunity to be a channel for justice and freedom, for truth and love.

All you have to do it try.
