Driving down Auburn....
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 10:52 AM by Tom Yossarian Joad
And passing the King Center daily.

Simple brick.

Now they are taking Coretta's body to the capitol.

To lie in State.

They didn't do it for Martin.

They had to wait
to see if it was alright.

To see if their corporate masters
were okay.

With Black People.

With the Niggers keeping even foot
with "Americans."

But they saw the influx from the Southern borders.

The Jungle Bunnies kept pushing
and godamnit, they pushed.

And now they work with us

In offices

And not in our Laundry rooms.

There are even black Judges

And Al, Jessie, Condi and Powell Tiger...

and so many more.

So now we have to have

A black body in the capitol.

Of Georgia.

From Alabama, I weep for you Coretta.

Where you and your wonderful husband

lived and preached.

You changed the world

And became an example

for all to follow.

I love you and your husband,

You made me what I am today.

2. What a beautiful tribute
Between that and bpilgrim's No Bravery video I have been in tears all morning.

You people with your literary anti-war names and marvelous insight!

:loveya:

As I type, the black horse draws her body.

It's a sad day.

5. Thanks, she was much more than that. (IMHO)
After growing up in the South during her and Martin's activism, she helped give me the directions I hold so dearly to today.

20. K & R
Forwarded this to my daughter in Alabaster (UAB student) - the only white kid in her 5th grade class to profile Coretta during February, 1994. Without prompting from anyone.

Beautiful, TY. Thanks.
