I heard the sad news civil rights leader Coretta Scott King, 78, had passed away overnight on the West Coast. Her daughter Bernice found her at about 1 a.m. apparently after resting.

She was a lot more than just the wife of the famed civil rights leader. She carved her own niche after her husband was shot dead in Memphis in 1968.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution has many related articles about her on the frontpage. (John Bazemore, AP via AJC)
