Good to hear she had a long full life. She inspired millions, including my aunt, who ran a "Freedom School" in Mississippi one summer.

I heard this on the news last night. I'm still kind of depressed. I had hoped to meet her some day.

I'm burning sage in her memory tonight

there is a picture of my sister, as an infant, in Dr. King's arms, which I adore.

Really? That's too cool. And how did you meet Mrs. King?

I will add my own tiny flame to the pyre in the rememberance of her life.

A tired woman who was just too bull headed to let a stupid male tell her where she could or couldnt sit..

you go girl..
