CORETTA SCOTT KING


THE LATE CORETTA PICTURED WITH AN UNKNOWN DYKE

From Linda Simpson:

Here are some inspiring words from Coretta Scott King. She was one cool lady...

"I still hear people say that I should not be talking about the rights of lesbian and gay people, and I should stick to the issue of racial justice. But I hasten to remind them that Martin Luther King Jr. said 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream to make room at the table of brother- and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people.

Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood. This sets the stage for further repression and violence, that spreads all too easily to victimize the next minority group.

Gays and lesbians stood up for civil rights in Montgomery, Selma, in Albany, Georgia, and St. Augustine, Florida, and many other campaigns of the civil rights movement. Many of these courageous men and women were fighting for my freedom at a time when they could find few voices for their own, and I salute their contributions."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. also argued that war is counterproductive to the cause of helping the poor. Thus, he came out in opposition to the Vietnam War. For practically identical reasons I am against the war in Iraq.

You can hear his rationale in his much underplayed “Beyond Vietnam” speech. He gave this speech exactly 1 year before his assassination and to my knowledge it is his last major recorded speech. A good copy can be found at Alternative Radio.
