who would have expected to see her at two such funerals in such a short space of time.

[CornField]

9. She is amazing

And her work is obviously not done yet.

[bliss_eternal]

16. "She would never let her life be dominated by fear..."

Such a profound statement for her to make sitting in front of the shrub...

Very powerful message for the whole nation there. SG

;)

...sorry, I couldn't resist.

[bliss_eternal]

founder of black enterprise magazine. I'm so glad he said what he did. Good on him!

You tell it, Ms. Height.

[Surya Gayatri]

26. "The sense she had that we all need each other..."

Oh God, if only all of those listening would really hear this message. sg

[Pathwalker]

22. Please take the time to DU CNN's insulting poll.

They want to know if Coretta Scott King impacted your life - duh!
I started a thread for the poll - it needs your help!

[helderheid]

28. did that. Insulting is right. She has affected EVERY LIFE.

[bliss_eternal]

29. Where? I'll be happy to participate.

I can't look at my husband and not be grateful for what the Kings did for us all. We are an interracial couple. If not for the Kings work, our marriage would still be illegal in this country.

[helderheid]
