Funeral Turns Into Pathetic Display of Politics
A heavy group of politicians attended the Funeral of Coretta Scott King today in Atlanta. What should have been a sacred event looked more like political positioning for Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States. Ah, the lovely couple, former President Clinton and his wife walked up to the pulpit to speak to the large crowd together. Bill held Hillary's hand as she delivered her remarks. Which I thought were rather cold, probably written by some staff intern. Hilliary spoke Not as a woman, Not as a mother, Not as a humanitarian, but as a person looking to gain a stronger political base in the African American communty. It was a pathetic display for future votes.
After his assassination, she inspired the world with her courage, dignity and tireless devotion to preserving Dr. King's legacy.
She was the founding President, Chair, and Chief Executive Officer of THe Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, she saw that tens of thousands of activists from all over the world were trained in the philosophy and practice of nonviolence. She served as an advisor to freedom and democracy movements all over the world, and as a consultant to world leaders including President Corazon Aquino of the Philippines, President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, and President Nelson Mandela of South Africa. One of the world's most admired women, she remained an outspoken champion of justice and human dignity to the end of her days.
