That's usually the way I accept someone's passing. She's probably at her happiest up there and at PEACE. I'd much rather celebrate her life than mourn her death, I guess.
On a somewhat related note, someone mentioned that we will never replace who we've lost.. and it's a sad thing. When I watch incoming freshman make the blanket statement that individuals like King and Parks "did nothing for them", it hurts my heart. Our youth know NOTHING of true "I'm sick of this sh*t" activism, and it's going to damage us in more ways than we know. The best way to keep BOTH King legacies alive is to just educate as much as possible, and through that education hope that they understand the underlying lesson: if you don't like what you're looking at/seeing/feeling, you CAN make a difference and a change.
