GRITtv: Remembering Dorothy Height, Benjamin Hooks Video

Dorothy Height and Benjamin Hooks both passed away recently; as trailblazing leaders in the movements for civil rights, they both worked to make a better world not just for African-Americans, but for everyone. Height was a feminist and an outspoken activist for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, and Hooks led the NAACP through a transitional period in its long history. Joining us via Skype from Washington, D.C. to remember Drs Height and Hooks and to talk about the next steps in progressive movements is regular guest Bill Fletcher Jr. of Black Commentator and the Center for Labor Renewal.
