Funerals on C-SPAN
April 29, 2010
The funeral service for civil rights leader Dorothy Height is an occasion to recall the funerals of other women on C-SPAN. C-SPAN covers many funerals because they feature prominent public policy speakers eulogizing the deceased. Some of the prominent women including civil rights leaders whose funerals C-SPAN has covered include Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Barbara Jordan, Mother Teresa, Rose Kennedy, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Pamela Harriman, and Bella Abzug.

What a phenomenal service CSPAN provides, especially in the full coverage of histoirc events; most recent the “Homegoing” of Dr. Dorothy Height. I agree with Johnetta Davis! I too would welcome an opportunity to purchase yesterday’s 90-minute coverage. Thank you.

I concur with the previous comments. Dorothy Height’s home going service was one of elegance. I would also like to purchase a copy of Dorothy Height home going service.

I too appreciate the CSPAN coverage of the Dorothy Height funeral. If possible, I would like to purchase a DVD of both the Funeral and the Memorial Service at Shiloh Baptist Church the evening before. Please advise.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to C-Span for covering both the Memorial Service and the Funeral of the beloved Dr. Dorothy Height. I sat spell-bound through both! She was a phenomenal woman and will be greatly missed.
Thanks, C-Span!

I was thoroughly moved by the services for Dr. Height. She was a wonderful woman. The neighborhood she had built in Mississippi is in my city. We appreciated her .

Please excuse the ostensible spelling mistakes in my previous E-mail. They were because of bad eye sight
