Sphere: Related ContentCoretta Scott King, who turned a life shattered by her husband’s assassination into one devoted to enshrining his legacy of human rights and equality, has died. She was 78.
Markel Hutchins, a close family friend of the Kings, told The Associated Press he spoke early this morning with Bernice King, who confirmed her mother’s passing.
Former Mayor Andrew Young said on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Web site that Bernice King found her mother at about 1 a.m.
Young, who was a former civil rights activist and was close to the King family, told NBC’s “Today” show: “I understand that she was asleep last night and her daughter went in to wake her up and she was not able to and so she quietly slipped away. Her spirit will remain with us just as her husband’s has.”

Democrats Take Cheap Shots at Democrats Take Cheap Shots at King Funeral
The democrats are using the funeral of Coretta Scott King to make political cracks at George Bush and the Bush Administration. Its sickening that anyone would use a funeral to make a personal point. This just shows how wrong the Democratic part really is.
