Coretta King was the same age as my mother. My mother left this planet in 1989, as I have watched Mrs. King age with such grace I have always imagined my mother attaining the same age as gracefully. The loss of a good mother is something that human society always feels, and cannot easily afford. But this mother certainly earned her rest and joy. Coretta left on the same bus as Betty Friedan, now THAT must have been an interesting conversation!
