Let us send our wishes, prayers and good karma to Coretta Scott King. Sadly, she has suffered a heart attack and a major stroke that has impaired her ability to speak and affected her right side.
The heart attack and stroke reportedly caused by a blood clot that moved from the heart -- and lodged in an artery in the left side of her brain.
The 78-year-old widow of Martin Luther King Jr. is listed in fair condition. She'll remain in the hospital for days to come and will need intensive therapy.
She is an amazing lady who actually gets her husbands dream of equality for all people. She has taken every opportunity to make it known that the GLBT community is included in the rainbow.
"Gay and lesbian people have families, and their families should have legal protection, whether by marriage or civil union," she said. "A constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages is a form of gay bashing and it would do nothing at all to protect traditional marriages."
The world needs more people like Coretta Scott King. She is a person of great integrity and a genuine hero.

Mrs. King is true American hero. The example of the woman that maintain her integrity even in the most difficult moments.
She never forget the true spirit of the civil rights movement, and she in one of the few people form that era that is being faithful to what she believe in: Equality for everyone.
My prayers are with her and her family

Speedy recovery, Coretta! truly one of the heroines of the civil rights movement, sadly her daughter Bernice isn't, the right wing fundies have already taken her under their wing.
