One Year Anniversary of Coretta Scott King's Passing

[journalist3072]

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.

I truly feel that I, as an African-American woman, stand on her shoulders! In fact, we ALL stand on her shoulders.

God bless her.
