We mourn the passing of Dorie Ann Ladner, a distinguished alumna of Howard University School of Social Work, class of '76, and an unsung heroine of the Civil Rights Movement. Dorie's unwavering commitment to justice and equality served as a guiding light in our ongoing struggle for civil rights.
As the sister of Joyce Ladner, a prominent civil rights activist, author, sociologist, and former interim president of Howard University (1994-1995), Dorie's legacy is deeply intertwined with the fabric of our community.
