If you look back at several of my diaries, it is obvious that Martin Luther King and his lovely wife have been in my thoughts a lot. While there wasn't time for me to watch Coretta's funeral, I listened to clips of the speeches, read several articles about it, then gathered my thoughts in this diary. Today, Coretta's funeral has been mentioned in several diaries, because of a very ugly fact:
According to Belafonte, the King family originally invited him to help eulogize Coretta Scott King but the family rescinded the invitation after President Bush announced he would attend the funeral.You can read the entire article at Democracy Now and you can also listen to Belafone being interviewed.
More ugliness was revealed at Red State. While I can't bring myself to go to the Red State site myself, here is a summary of what some sickening people there where saying about the funeral.
Below is an excerpt from the previous diary which mentions some of the highlights of the funeral. They might help you get a more balanced view of the funeral.
