Last night I went to the King Center to wait for the procession to arrive. It was an incredibly warm feeling on a very cold night. I engaged in numerous discussion over the course of four hours with dozens of people who were there (all African Americans). Every single one, with no exception, was overjoyed at the things that were said and that you are bemoaning. Every single one, without exception, wished that more had been said. Their favorite speeches after those delivered by friends of the family, were Bill Clinton's and Jimmy Carter's. They LOVED what Joseph Lowery had to say. I have never seen such unanimity in opinion amongst so mmany people. Ponder that for a while. There were people there who knew Coretta and they said she would be smiling. So what you term "shenanigans" is viewed somewhat differently by those who knew her and those who came to honor her.
By the way, here are pictures from yesterday evening.
