Dorothy Height 3” Bronze Medal – A Tribute to a Trailblazer in Civil and Women’s Rights
Celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Dorothy I. Height with this stunning 3-inch bronze medal, a faithful replica of the Congressional Gold Medal awarded in her honor. Dr. Height was a pioneering advocate for social change, dedicating her life to community-based efforts that tackled racism, gender inequality, poverty, and other critical challenges.
A central figure during the 1960s civil rights movement, she played a vital role in advancing both African American rights and women’s equality, working alongside major leaders of the era.
Obverse (Front):
The front of the medal features a beautifully crafted portrait of Dr. Height wearing one of her trademark hats. The inscriptions include:
“DOROTHY I. HEIGHT” beneath the portrait
“ACT OF CONGRESS 2003” along the right edge
Reverse (Back):
The reverse shows the National Council of Negro Women headquarters in Washington, D.C., symbolizing her leadership and lasting influence. The U.S. Capitol rises in the background, highlighting her impact on national policy and advocacy. Also featured is one of her most memorable quotes:
“We African American women seldom do just what we want to do, but always what we have to do. I am grateful to have been in a time and place where I could be a part of what was needed.”
This commemorative medal is a powerful reminder of Dr. Height’s enduring contributions to justice and equality. A meaningful addition to any collection that honors American history and social progress.
