She worked on issues like school desegregation, voter registration, and housing. She was grateful that her husband Abraham was willing to watch the children while she became more involved in activism. However, Dorothy worried about her fellow domestic workers. Dorothy believed that civic engagement was a luxury most Black women could not afford. It was hard for Black women to care about politics while they worked thankless jobs for very little money.
We are politically strong and independent. Dorothy approached Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She wanted him to help her form a domestic workers union. Dorothy took his vote of confidence and got to work. Dorothy knew the only time domestic workers had to themselves was when they were in transit between their jobs and homes. The bus was where domestics could meet, share stories, and support each other.
Dorothy decided this was the perfect place to start organizing. She rode buses all over Atlanta and spoke to hundreds of women. Almost all of them agreed that a union was needed. Eventually, Dorothy had enough interest to call a meeting. It was one of the first formal organizations to support domestic workers in the country.
Although it had the word national in the title, it primarily served women in the Atlanta area. Members paid dues in exchange for two key services. First, NDWUA trained members in skills such as cooking, shopping, driving, child care, elder care, and first aid. Most members already had these skills.
However, by creating a formal training program, the NDWUA publicly declared that these women were trained professionals worthy of respect. Graduates even received a certificate they could show to potential employers.
NDWUA also supported workers in the negotiation process for better wages and hours. Because each domestic worker had a different employer, it was almost impossible for NDWUA to negotiate on behalf of all members, as a typical union might do. Members learned how to bargain for better pay, better hours, and other requirements.
Over time, Dorothy noticed a change in the domestic workforce. Domestic workers in Atlanta were more confident and less ashamed of their work. Even the way they dressed suggested they felt better about themselves.
The conversation around domestic workers changed for the better. Dorothy stood next to him during the big announcement. As Dorothy predicted, the better domestic workers felt and were compensated, the more likely it was that they cared about other issues.

However, reviewers tend to be distracted by comprehensible content, say, a random text copied from a newspaper or the internet.

Act One The opera takes place in ancient Egypt. Inside the royal palace in Memphis, the priest Ramfis informs Radames, the captain of the guards, that Ethiopian forces are preparing to attack; the goddess Isis has chosen a leader to command the Egyptian army.
Radames hopes to be that man. His thoughts quickly turn to his beloved Aida, an Ethiopian woman who has been brought to Egypt as a slave after being captured during a previous battle. A fanfare signals the arrival of the king, who announces that Radames has been chosen to lead the Egyptians into battle. Alone, Aida ponders her situation. She is torn between her loyalty to her native land and her love for Radames.
She offers a solemn prayer, imploring the gods for understanding. Inside the temple, Ramfis calls on Radames to defend Egypt and the priests invoke divine protection. When Aida enters, Amneris tricks the slave into revealing her true feelings for Radames. Amneris then tells Aida that she too loves Radames. As fanfares herald the return of the victorious army, the gloating Amneris leaves Aida in despair.
The army enters Thebes in triumph. Radames enters and the king offers him anything he desires. Disguised as a common soldier, Amonasro signals Aida not to reveal his identity as king of Ethiopia. Ramfis and the other priests insist that the Ethiopian prisoners be put to death, but Radames chooses their release as his reward.
The king consents under the condition that Aida and her father remain in Egypt. Act Three Moonlight shimmers on the Nile as a hymn praising the goddess Isis is heard from her temple. Amneris comes to the temple to pray on the eve of her marriage to Radames, while Radames has arranged a clandestine meeting with Aida nearby. As Aida waits for him, she remembers her homeland, despairing that she will never see it again. Amonasro appears. Aida struggles between her duty to her people and her love for Radames.
She reluctantly agrees to help her father. Amonasro hides when Radames arrives. Aida convinces him to flee with her rather than marry Amneris and, at the last moment, she gets him to reveal the path the Egyptian army will take. Amonasro appears, declaring that the Ethiopians will meet the Egyptians and destroy them. Father and daughter try to convince Radames to flee with them when they are discovered by Amneris and Ramfis, who are leaving the temple.
When Amonasro tries to kill Amneris, Radames comes to her defense. Aida and Amonasro flee, and Radames surrenders as a traitor. Act Four The Ethiopians have been beaten again, and Amonasro has been killed during battle; Aida has disappeared. God Bless you! Irma Pangelinan.
