In Tribute To Coretta Scott King (One-Year Anniversary)

@ 03:35 PM (19 months, 7 days ago)
Today is the one year anniversary of Coretta Scott King's passing.

So I just wanted to take time and pay tribute to this outstanding human being.

My favorite story about Mrs. King, is how after her husband's death, she somehow found the strength to go to Memphis, the scene of the crime, and march with the sanitation workers (which, of course, is what Dr. King had been there to do).

As President Clinton so eloquently said during Mrs. King's funeral, she could have easily just given in to her grief and stayed home. Instead, she galvanized herself into action in the midst of her grief.

We all stand on her shoulders!

  3. “he was having an affair on coretta.the start of single wed parents.why does the coloreds have more single wed parents.i wonder why.i know come up with your own conclusion”

    1)How does an affair by Dr. King correlate to the start of single parenthood?
    2)Colored is a term no longer used or recognized by most of society except a chosen few…
    3)Education, independent thought, and reading will expand your mind and hopefully your grammar
    4)How do your “questions” even relate to the topic?

    Thank you MOS, for reaffirming the notion that there are still ignorant people who walk amongst us in society.

    “by the way who cares”

    Like your president, you are ignorant of the importance of a historical figure. Coretta Scott King, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and brave souls of their time, literally risked their lives in order to right the wrongs of oppressed peoples. The blood, sweat, tears, and lives of all non-whites are weaved into the very fabric of this country but it’s narrow-minded people such as yourself who make unintelligent commentaries.

    If you don’t care about the subject matter, don’t post. If you don’t have an intelligent comment to add or at least an argument that can be justifiably argued, don’t post.
