Dorothy Height overcame adversity at a time when African-Americans were not granted equal rights. Her last name reflects how she soared went in life. When many women, no matter what race, did not commonly continue education past high school or lower, Height received a masters degree in educational psychology from NYU in 1933!
Ms. Dorothy Height witnessed every civil rights march and of course participated as well. She was a top advisor to many. Height had the attention of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, President Eisenhower, and President Johnson. What truly touched us was that she advised Elizabeth Birch, former president of the HRC for LGBT rights when ENDA had its initial vote in ‘96.
Height died at 98 on April 20th. She witnessed woman and African-Americans fight for their rights when they had little to then see an African-American man become President of the United States. Because of people like Dorothy Height, a legacy will be left full of leaders and citizens of all genders, races, creeds, colors, and religions, a who will continue to work together to create a more perfect union.
Kraft Foods an ally for equality recently penned a deal over Cadbury’s sale for over $19.6 Billion. This will create the largest confectionery company in the world and is getting everyone involved over the stir. There will be layoffs as redundancy’s are a result of any merger, hopefully more jobs will be created with the creation of new products. We love the Cadbury Egg’s in concept, but have you ever eaten one? Candy is a delicate process as we’ll show you in our upcoming Valentine’s Day Vlog on how to make Chocolate roses.

The Harmony Café has two locations in Wisconsin; one in Fox Valley, and one in Green Bay; both have great calendar events coming up that you should check out and tell us about.
The Harmony Café is a unique space with an honorable pledge, within their declaration they state:
“I believe: that ALL people should be valued and appreciated; that every person is a treasure worthy of dignity & respect; that diversity in humans is a strength;that by pre-judging people and by holding biases, I will miss the beauty within each individual person.”
What a great pledge! All groups and community spaces can learn from their acceptance. We often find ourselves working with individuals who may or may not share our views and values, however when the respect for each individuals self worth is there, real progress can begin.
What a great idea the founders of the Harmony Café had; think about contacting them if you feel their model would be a success in our neighborhoods. Sometimes providing an accepting space to meet is the first step-not to mention that their rooms look great. What a wonderful space for the organizations around these locations to meet.
