Coretta Scott King - RIP

Another Civil Rights Heroine has passed away.  Coretta Scott King was 78 years old when she passed away in Mexico while recovering from recent health problems.  She was the widow of Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King.  After her husband's assassination, Mrs. King continued his work.  She'll be missed by many.

It was here in Boston when Coretta Scott was attending school at the Boston Conservatory of Music.  Then, she met Boston University student Martin Luther King, and they became a couple very quickly.  The rest of their story is history.
