A review by 2000ace
Open Wide the Freedom Gates by Dorothy Height

5.0

Dorothy Height wrote not just a chronicle of the civil rights era, but a new American history book. Her fight has been for equality for people of color, and women as well. She is a gifted storyteller, who has been everywhere from Harlem to the White House, and has met the major cultural movers and shakers of about fifty years of this country's past. One thing I enjoy about Ms. Height is that fact that whenever she met someone, whether it was a sharecropper or a President, she interacted with them to further whatever project she was currently working on. She is one of the hardest working women in the equality business, and deserves a wider audience.
