Not sure what to say?

LC was a woman who knew what she wanted and was blessed to meet her goals. She was always trying to encourage the young people to be the best that they could be. Once when my sister Cathy was moving to
DC to start a new job, she told my mother "don't worry, I'll be here to help her get established" and she did. That's the type of person she was, always willing to help.

May god be with this family

Not sure that anyone will see this now (October), but I have been trying to find L.C. For years with no luck. I worked for her in 1975 at the MS Prosoners' Defense Committee when I was an undergraduate at Antioch College. Unknown to her, she was largely responsible for my eventual career as a civil rights and, then, environmental attorney inBoston and Maine where I now live. She taught me to fight to change what was wrong, and not to blame those oppressing people, they just weren't taught any...

I am so sorry for the passing of Dr.Dorsey. God will hold your hands through this journey of sorrows and pains. Remember God heals All.

LC. Rest in perfect P E A C E.

Cousins,

Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. She was a phenomenal lady, a leader with positive words to all of us----I remember her strong support from the 60'S movement. Her legacy for social change lives on.
