RIP and my prayers go out to the family. I was listening to the radio this morning and Armstrong Williams was on and he basically said that Mrs King (prior to her stroke) was about to lose her house but Oprah stepped in and bought her a new house (or completely refurbished the old one). While Armstrong went on to praise her children I would love to know how THEY allowed her to be in such a position in the first place. They could have all pooled their resources together and Oprah would not have been involved... that really concerned me....

This is not the way the story was told here in Atlanta if I recall correctly. Mrs. King still lived in the modest family home that she and Dr. King bought when he was alive in what was/is increasingly becoming a "bad" part of town. (Off Simpson Road in Vine City for the ATLiens) Oprah decided to buy Mrs. King a condo in Buckhead on Peachtree Street simply as a gift to Mrs. King, not because she was about to be homeless. I think Oprah said she wanted her to live in a home befiting her, or something like that.
