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

I'm actually racking my brain, trying to remember if I might have met her as a child. I've met Coretta Scott King, among others, and there is a picture of my sister, as an infant, in Dr. King's arms, which I adore.

Wow! I'd love to see it sometime if you have access to a scanner. Save that picture!

I'll have to find it and make sure I still have a copy...my sister or aunt may have it.
