President Barack Obama couldnt hold back the tears as he attended the funeral of the woman he called the 'Godmother' of the American civil rights movement. The Prez was weeping openly as he watched the service for Dorothy Height in Washington. The President delivered the eulogy for Dr Height, whose activism stretched for more than five decades. The President eulogy lasted about 13 minutes:
