The only opinion which counts is that of the King Family
If they are ok with what was said at Mrs. King's funeral--then the media windbags don't have a leg to stand on. I've heard no criticsm from them. This is indicative of the problem we have in the media these days. 30 years ago the media was digging for the truth--today it's their job to bury the truth.

2. Exactly right.
Let the RW rant. It's the King family that should have the last say.

3. You know, no animus intended, but there have been a gazillion
threads all saying this in some form or another. Meanwhile, * is trying to destroy SS and the House is holding hearings on healthcare. Enough, already. Let's get back to attending to some of the business Mrs. King worked so hard on during her life--the welfare and dignity of the poor.

4. One of King's nieces was a speaker at Justice Sunday III in Philadelphia
so make sure the opinions we are getting come directly MLK/CSK family!

Just so you know - Falwell, DObson and Santorum also spoke at Justice Sunday III

8. I'm sure they'll be proud that DVDs will be bought and saved and
Edited on Wed Feb-08-06 01:25 PM by applegrove
used to pass onto kids. I'm sure the DVD would include a full bio of CSK. Perhaps expanded upon from the funeral. What a great thing. The juxtaposition of her life with her husbands short one. And the way - all true christians & the country were there to send her off.

And how they all talked about a "transformation experience" in the week she passed away. And how we all have to internalize the lessons of her life.
