April 27, 1927-January 30, 2006
I am at once humbled and encouraged by the rich example of integrity that Coretta Scott King put forth.
I read about her when I was a teenager, and since then I've marveled at the way she picked up the pieces after her husband was killed. She raised her family well and continued to work ardently for social change...racial and economic justice, peace and non-violence, nuclear disarmament, children's and women's rights, gay and lesbian rights, AIDS, homelessness...her activism was dynamic and unrelenting.
She demonstrated profound spiritual strength throughout her life.
We're blessed to have shared the planet with Coretta Scott King.
