Sad day.
ATLANTA - Coretta Scott King, who turned a life shattered by her husband's assassination into one devoted to enshrining his legacy of human rights and equality, has died, former mayor Andrew Young told NBC Tuesday morning. She was 78.
Young, who was a former civil rights activist and was close to the King family, broke the news during a phone call he made to the "Today" show.
On the day that Alito will be confirmed. Weird. Do you ever feel like events are conspiring against us to hasten our slide down the regressive slope?
