Coretta Scott King, who turned a life shattered by her husband's assassination into one devoted to enshrining his legacy of human rights and equality, has died. She was 78.
Flags at the King Center were lowered to half-staff Tuesday morning.
"We appreciate the prayers and condolences from people across the country," the King family said in a statement. The family said she died overnight, but did not say where she died. She suffered a serious stroke and heart attack in 2005.

you're number ummm... 6!
6'll do, I was hoping for lucky 7. Search turned up nada.
This certainly screwed up the MSM's coverage of the Oscar nominations
Posting before thread pulled.
I heard this on the radio a bit ago. I don't see where the President declared this though. No disrespect meant, just a pet peeve of mine. I am the facility guy at work and people want the flag lowered for the dangest reasons. And no, we are not a gov facility.
I think that was probably a family decision as a gesture the King family and the King Center mourn her passing.
" you're number ummm... 6! "
" I am not a number ; I'm a free man ! " ;)
It's George W Bush's fault.
God rest her soul.
Hahahahahahaha...Great ...Thanks for that !
How long before the left wing members of congress demand she lay in the rotunda
I'll give 'em 24 hours !
It is and it isn't. Like I said, just a peeve of mine as it is not proper protocol unless it is a private (corp) flag. I wish her and her family no ill will.
