She spend her life sharing the message of her late husband Martin Luther King. We will post more information as more comes. Bless her, and bless the message of peace.
Since her husband’s assassination in 1968, Mrs. King has devoted much of her energy and attention to developing programs and building the Atlanta-based Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change as a living memorial to her husband’s life and dream. Situated in the Freedom Hall complex encircling Dr. King’s tomb, The King Center is part of a 23-acre national historic park which includes his birth home, and which hosts over one million visitors a year.
"I think, on many points she educated me. When I met her she was very concerned about the things we are trying to do now. I never will forget the first discussion we had when we met was the whole question of racial injustice and economic injustice and the question of peace. In her college days she had been actively engaged in movements dealing with these problems. I must admit—I wish I could say-to satisfy my masculine ego, that I led her down this path; but I must say we went down together, because she was as actively involved and concerned when we met as she is now."
Excerpted from "Martin Luther King, Jr. A Personal Portrait", interview with Arnold Michaelis, 1967.

I don’t think Bush actually
I don’t think Bush actually knows who Coretta Scott King is. He had this awkward look on his face when mentioning it in state of the union address. Actually, I don’t think that there is much that doesn’t confuse this cretin.
