MLK

First Rosa Parks, and now Coretta Scott King. It's been a sad stretch for important women in our history.


Coretta Scott King was classy, which is no surprise given the man she chose to live her life with. And strong, which was necessary, considering that life together was cut short so horribly.

It's not like I knew her personally, but I'll miss her. It always gave me comfort knowing there were women out there like her that I could point to and tell my daughters to emulate. I still can, of course, but knowing she's gone makes me grieve nonetheless.

Here's to you, Coretta. Thanks for living your life in a way that demonstrates what's really good about our race. The human race.
