Coretta Scott King

The passing of Mrs. King is a reminder to all of us that the legends of our past and their great works are slipping from our grasp in record speed. And as they leave us, it becomes clear that our children do not have a frame of reference for the pain so many endured in order for them to have the opportunities that they do--especially those in education. The very freedoms and privileges that King and others fought, bled, sacrificed and died for are being squandered by our youth. But they are not solely to blame, we are.

Our children act this way because we have not passionately demanded otherwise. I am personally ashamed.
