Not only did her husband change the world as we know it but his wife worked tirelessly to make it ever better. Rest in Peace |

It is my belief that Martin changed the world in profound ways. It is also my belief that Coretta gave the changes legs, and real substance. God be good to the both of them. Mick |

She branched out into areas where Martin had yet to go. A beautiful soul in a tireless body. Rest easy. Spaw .....and DAVE: Your comment belongs on the HELP Forum, not on the thread. |

That was her field of study when she met Dr King. It was a shame she gave it up. I've never heard her play - but that might have been an interesting addition to her husbands career. |

The problem is that that automatically posts it above the line. I have no objection to putting it below. Just don't put it in the back of the bus. |

Rest in Peace Mrs. King. Michelle |
