In Memory of Corretta Scott King

@ 08:00 AM (46 months, 13 days ago)
Of course the breaking news of the morning is the death of Corretta Scott King, the "first lady" of the civil rights movement.
 
No words will be able to adequately or fully describe Mrs. King's contributions to the civil rights movement. 
 
She marched alongside her husband Martin Luther King, Jr., and raised their children under extraordinary cirumstances. 
 
She never faltered or wavered, even when her husband was stabbed, and arrested and jailed.  She didn't even falter when their home was bombed.
 
Corretta Scott King stood tall, because she stood for justice, equality and fairness.
 
After Martin Luther King Jr. was brutally assassinated, Corretta Scott King continued her husband's legacy, championing the issues that he cared about so passionately.
 
More to come on Corretta Scott King, and her legacy....throughout the day!
