Thank you! We need to embrace Dorothy Height's spirit as this anti-abortion "freedom train" gets ready to roll through the south. She would have been outraged, and so should we be.

You never know when your words and actions will change a nation. Dr. Height proved such.

We need to remember these icons as we move the struggle for justice forward. Today we here in St. Paul are burying one of our own, Ms Katie McWatt. Katie sought welfare rights, housing and job equity, and quality education for all, right up until she died Monday, April 19. Her last victory was the reinstatement of three light rail stations which had been eliminated from a transit proposal - stations located in the heart of the black community. Riddled with lung cancer and wearing her oxygen hose, she carried the day by simply refusing to go away. Thank you, Katie. Thank you, sisters who have gone before in the fight for what's right. We honor you by stepping up to take your places. Thank you, Loretta, for the history lesson. We need to remember these icons as we move the struggle for justice forward.
