The wonderful life and legacy of Coretta Scott King came to an end today. And today, the President of the United States preaches the gospel of his lying-truth. Let us remember the Kings today.

The day that George Bush speaks freedom and covers up bloodshed, Coretta Scott King’s passing reminds us of the words and life of Dr. Martin Luther King and his talented and passionate wife.

Dr. King spoke not only of peace for African-Americans, but for all human beings. Coretta Scott King, after her husband was murdered, stood with the garbage collectors union in place of her husband. Through the last 40 years, she has stood by her husband, and represented him to a world that tends to forget.

And what is it that we need to remember about Dr. King, and his powerful partner, Coretta Scott King? They were non-violent activists, aggressive and powerful. They did not stand by and watch, and stood up in the face of immense fear and derision.

Let us remember the legacy of non-violence today. With the arrest of Cindy Sheehan, and with the lying and deceitful words of our president, we have to stay true to Martin Luther King, Gandhi, and Jesus Christ.

Let us fight to turn the other cheek — because that is the hardest battle. Dr. King fought that battle, and his family has carried that on. We often forget that Dr. King was a pacifist, and did not stand by and accept the genocide that was Vietnam.

He would stand with the miners of West Virginia now. He would stand by the soldiers, and he would pray for their return. He would stand by the Iraqis and Afghanis, and he would pray for their children.

Let us pray for an active, painful, difficult pacifism. Let us remember the Kings today.

Rest in peace, Coretta Scott King.
