In honor of a great woman, and to honor her memory, below are a few quotes by Coretta Scott King:
“Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.”
“I believe all Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation.”
“Mama and Daddy King represent the best in manhood and womanhood, the best in a marriage, the kind of people we are trying to become.”
“Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.”
“There is a spirit and a need and a man at the beginning of every great human advance. Every one of these must be right for that particular moment of history, or nothing happens.”
“Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.”
I’m heartbroken for her family and friends, but what an amazing reunion she must have had with her husband!
