Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum
On the Passing of Coretta Scott King

“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.”
