Listening to 'This Love of Mine' by Ella Fitzgerald.
Ironically on the eve of Black History Month, one of it's leading icons, Coretta Scott King, widow of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a force within the Civil Rights movement in her own right, passed away yesterday as the result of respiratory failure secondary to ovarian cancer.
I've always admired Coretta Scott King. She was a woman of substance, who did far more than carry on the dream of her husband. She will be sorely missed, not only by her family, but by those she inspired. Requiem in pacem. You helped change our world, and I thank you for that.
