"Sleep tonight, and may your dreams, be realized. If the thundercloud passes, let it rain, let it rain, rain on me"-U2-MLK (from the Unforgettable Fire)
Coretta Scott King, (widow of the late civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) passed away late last night, quietly in her sleep. Just a few weeks past MLK's celebrated birthday and holiday, we bow our heads.. In coalition with the black, Native American, people of color, peace, unity and yes the metal community we bow our heads and salute Coretta Scott King.
All flags should be flown and half staff today. Interesting year in the post civil rights movement now in the new millennium. The idiots that murdered the three civil rights workers (see the movie Mississippi Burning) have been brought to justice after almost 30 years. Rosa Parks passed away last year, and now Coretta Scott King passes on..........I am deeply saddened to hear of Coretta Scott Kings passing, and condolences go out to her friends and family worldwide.
Now the torch has been passed to our generation for upgrading civil rights and equal opportunity for all. We will not forget, RIP Coretta Scott King.
Stay Metal, Stay Multi cultural, and PEACE \m/
