A very great lady I have never heard a bad thing said about her.

i met her once...at a difficult time for me...she was gracious and compassionate. A friend of mine who also worked for 'the movement' told me he had eaten at their house a couple of times and slept there once...that Mrs. King had a habit of taking in 'strays' and taking care of them.

• • Fundraising Begins For King Statues In Hartford, Connecticut
• • Just before the fundraising campaign started Friday, Mayor Eddie A. Perez reached into his pocket, pulled out his billfold, and gave city council Majority Leader Jo Winch a nudge.
• • "Here's a dollar," he told her, handing her a bill. "I'm going to give the first dollar. You give the second."
• • That means there's only $249,998 left to be raised in the effort to build statues memorializing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King.
• • Organizers announced plans Friday to raise the money and build the statues on the former site of a monument to the city's Northwest residents who served in World War II. The monument that once stood at Aaron Fien Square at the Woodland Street entrance to Keney Park was dedicated in 1944. It was taken down in 1955 for repairs, and apparently never returned. . . .
