Saying goodbye to Coretta Scott King

I found this article on Coretta Scott King, very engaging. I shows how great of a person she and her husband really were. They truly made a difference in world and are very well-respected people for that. I think it is important for influential people like herself to be honored and appreciated. She was the first woman and the first black person to lie in honor at what was once the home of segregation. "Coretta Scott King was a gracious and courageous woman, an inspiration to millions and one of the most influential civil rights leaders of our time," said the Governor of Georgia. "She was absolutely an anchor and support for her husband." Coretta Scott King died in Mexico at clinic, where doctors said she was battling advanced ovarian cancer. She also had been recovering from a serious stroke and heart attack.
