“I join the nation in mourning
the passing of the First Lady of Civil Rights, Coretta Scott King.
“An American hero, she helped
change the course of our country’s history through her tireless,
courageous fight against the injustices of segregation and discrimination,
and broadened the reach of the civil rights movement to embrace
equal rights for women.
“May she rest
in peace with her beloved husband and her legacy live on.”
