We need more Kings

Today in the very church (Ebenezer Baptist in Atlanta) where MLK spoke so powerfully in the 1960s, Coretta Scott King was remembered as the first lady of the civil rights movement. The AP quoted one of the ministers leading the service: "Praise God for Coretta Scott King; let the heavens rejoice for the witness of our sister."

Up in Detroit, Rev. Al Sharpton had this to say in another service: "Mrs. King is not history because she is dignified. Yes, she was dignified. Yes, she had grace. Yes, she was regal, but that doesn't make her history. She is history because her husband and her stood up for what was right."
