In Remembrance,
"Mrs. King was more than Dr. King's widow: She was a living symbol of what he fought and died for. With the passing of Rosa Parks and so many others, for many Mrs. King was the last real icon of the Civil Rights movement. The best way for all of us to honor their memory is to remember what they worked so hard to achieve and to exercise our political power the way we know they'd want us to."
- Tom Joyner
In honor of Coretta Scott King, some churches, radio stations, and politicians are asking that we wear black on Friday (Feb. 3) to show that the fight that King fought was not in vain. With a new Supreme Court potentially emerging in the wake of the confirmation of Justice Alito on the same day of her passing, this effort is intended to show unity of mind and purpose. Please pass the word to family and friends.
