Coretta Scott King is one of the most influential women leaders around in our world. She prepared for a life committed to social justice and peace, so she was allowed to enter the world stage in 1955 as the wife of the best peace making man available at the time, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Together with her man, they made a remarkable partnership. It resulted not only in four talented children, and also helped her practice devoting her life to the highest values of human dignity in service to social change. It seemed black people in America had a time to shine that might involve something other than shoes. So she was rather enraptured with the prospects of performing her arts.

"Corrie" was a fine young woman who had a terrific figure in her prime, carefully cultivated to catch a nice man and make her an excellent mother. She had to endure the painful hardships of being seen as ugly, of being seen in a futile way as something that could be shoved around. Although not all that persecuted in some ways, she knew she would perhaps not achieve a full life; this turned out to perhaps not entirely be the case. Also, she and Dr. King made a very cute couple, although really inevitably they somewhat looked like white people. Way it goes in life sometimes. They were both rather English, to the point where they were almost honorary "witches" in spite of their Protestanism.

The people even seem to have trouble having found them proper graves. How odd. For some reason, this seems to happen to people when they are seen as "witches," although we don't know why. And for some reason, Dr. King seemed to have some unusual witchcraftlike powers. It may have been modern technology involving microphones and a large booming voice, or perhaps unknown sunlight being called down for some versatile yet particularized reasons. I would say that "Negro couple" were the main component of the people treated as witches in many ways, but not really. Many types of people have been reacted to that way over historical time, a phenomenon of which we have been briefly aware. I have studied this, and come to the conclusion we are all "witches" in some way or another.

The fact is, during this time period, others were forced to contemplate lives of perhaps extreme misery and social degradation. The two people mentioned in this story may accidentally not have done enough for them. They were only human. Largely, they must have contributed to an occasionally nice and sometimes nasty people fetish and belief systems about religions involving going to hell after you die. However, this is not that large of a question anymore. Really, as global warming has now superseded many social issues, these problems don't continue in these days like they used to. I have to wonder though about "our" MLK; I have heard some odd personal messages from him and her.

Meanwhile, Mrs. King traveled throughout America and the world speaking out on behalf of racial and economic justice, womens and childrens rights, gay and lesbian dignity, religious freedom, the needs of the poor and homeless, full-employment, health care, educational opportunities, nuclear disarmament, and ecological sanity. In short, this lady let a productive career that she had begun earlier in school guide her away from a most terrible mourning process. As Dr. King had died at the age of 39, she was very lonely, and her mourning process was thus sufficiently alleviated. The man she had been married to was a brilliant man of talent and so she never remarried.

However, considering how many times their graves have been switched around, and it partly being due to the fact they were both black people, or so it seems, I am forced to wonder about the witchcraft connection between four different people. It seems to involve something supernatural. Well, I have been around before as white people, and basically, I still have the feeling that the four people I mention in this series are not alone in these strange accusations. The supernatural that haunts the Heaven and Hell fetish does always seem to have to do with real life street conditions.

The altruistic being who had nearly saved the world was perpetually on her psyche. He had been an alpha male, and she had been so near the top of the highest mountain, she decided to continue to preach his words of social change. She had been doing that anyway, but his loss was not one from which she could recover and feel well enough about that it she could remarry. On the other hand, she certainly had a lot to make up for it with her struggles for dignity for others.

In her distinguished and productive career, she has lent her support to democracy movements world-wide and served as a consultant to many world leaders in democracy movements worldwide and served as a consultant to many world leaders. Apparently, she was quite the jet setter. She traveled the world to tell as many people who could afford to listen to her at the time that although she was a grieving widow, she was still a worthwhile person to listen to if you were able to hear her.

During the 1980's, Coretta King also reaffirmed her long-standing opposition to apartheid, participating in a series of sit-in protests in Washington that prompted nationwide demonstrations against South African racial policies. In 1986, she traveled to South Africa and met with Winnie Mandela. After her return to the United States, she personally urged President Ronald Reagan to approve sanctions against South Africa. Coretta King also remained active in various women's organizations, including the National Organization for Women, the Women's International League for Peace, and Church Women United.

Coretta King put her musical training to use throughout the black freedom struggle, participating in "freedom concerts," which included poetry recitation, singing, and lectures related to the history of the civil rights movement. The proceeds from these concerts were donated to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Coretta King accompanied her husband on many of his trips, traveling to Ghana in 1957 and India in 1959. In 1962, Coretta King's interest in disarmament efforts took her to Geneva, Switzerland, where she served as a Women's Strike for Peace delegate to the seventeen-nation Disarmament Conference.

Today Mrs. King is active in many political groups. She is a member of the Black Leadership Forum and the Black Leadership Roundtable. She also continues to give speeches supporting her political beliefs of nonviolent change. Unfortunately, this is what my sources told me. However, the last I remember from watching television news is that she died many years ago after a wonderful final party was given in her honor. She obviously lived through many things, but I must stop short at promoting the idea that she is immortal. She was finally laid to her rest, but perhaps not. It is strange, like there is a force that must continue to chase those saints who work on behalf of social justice. Or even the politics of needing ones death to be ones own in the face of total religion. It is pitiful, the need for the horn of plenty.

Ten months after her death, Coretta Scott King is in her final resting place next to her husband, slain civil rights leader Michael King. He is now known by one of his many titles, purportedly, at the grave site.

The single crypt housing the great mans body at the grounds of the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change has been replaced by a larger one, and Coretta Scott Kings body has been moved to it from a temporary grave. Coretta Scott King died at 78 on January 30 of complications from a stroke and ovarian cancer. This is technically the third grave for Martin Luther King, Jr. who was assassinated in Memphis on April 4, 1968.

In the next article in this series, I will attempt to explore the lives of Betty X and a chap known somewhat as Malcolm Shabazz X, perhaps to some. It appears the above two people were not as pure white collar as the two jet setters described above as a humble man and his wife. However, this article unfortunately made it look as though Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King lived in total, absolutely perfect abstract heaven. I should say there must be a middle ground somewhere. I do understand Coretta had occasional trouble painting pictures. Perhaps she was forced to look for greater imagery.

Unfortunately, I happen to know that they did not do so. Meanwhile, the next two articles will be dealing with the lives of those who seemed to be leading a parallel existence of their own in total hell. This seems to be another one of those parallel stories where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I hate to say it, but the two people above these words are awfully rich indeed. In the other two articles in this series, we will be exploring the lives of those far braver than they.

Maybe. In the meanwhile, please try to use this article as wisely as you can for your own constructive Internet purposes. For you, gentle reader, are the only person to whom this tale is being told.
