Mrs. King deserved better than the crap shown at her funeral service

Correct me if I am on the wrong track here, but just what as her focus been since 1968? Then, Mr. King was a respected man of the cloth who stood at the forefront of the civil rights movement, a man who earned respect, not because of his death, but because of his life.

Mrs. King? She died a multimillionaire, one who it seems was more interested in profiting from her husbands words then carrying on his cause. She was treated as royalty in Atlanta, including armed guards and limos paid for by the city.

I am not so certain that the adulations bestowed upon her are a result of her efforts as much as they are the result of a collective guilt.

Yes,yes, yes, yes, yes, someone has the spine to tell it like it is. Everything you say is true and has been documented
The King family has been at one another's throat for yrs. over
money. Several years ago, one of the big three networks did an
article on the above post. Thank you for the post, lets look at the true aspects of this funeral and, the whole King family.

I said at the time of the funeral what I truly believe, that I saw no evidence that anybody outside a segment of the black population really gave much of a damn about Coretta King. Attendance at the funerally was a political necessity, however, which only Barbara Bush could apparently transcend with impunity. Everyone else was there because they needed to be, or for what advantage they thought they could draw from the appearance.
